"ClearVector gives us fast answers to the who, what, where, and when so we can focus on the why."
Identity-driven detection and response for high-velocity AWS environments
GreyNoise provides actionable threat intelligence by filtering out internet background noise. As a high-throughput data platform operating in AWS, GreyNoise needed immediate identity-level visibility into production actions, especially those occurring outside the CI/CD pipeline, without adding friction or licensing complexity.

TL;DR
- ClearVector live in 10 minutes
- Integrated with AWS with no third-party ingestion needed
- Access reviews shortened by 63 percent
- Used daily by Security and IT teams
The Challenge
GreyNoise’s team was tasked with answering the most fundamental security question: “Who did what, where, and when?” Before ClearVector, answering it meant aggregating, centralizing, and querying data from multiple log sources and formats. The process was time-consuming, cognitively taxing, and delayed decisions.
“We had visibility, but from different distances. Getting the full picture required constant refocusing.”
Production AWS resources including deployments, access reviews, and incident investigations suffered from this fragmented view. Understanding the blast radius of changes or scoping IAM policies often meant hours of work with limited clarity.
Deployment
ClearVector was operational within ten minutes. GreyNoise’s IT and Security teams instantly gained visibility into identity-linked actions across AWS, with notifications flowing directly into their workflows.
Results
With ClearVector, GreyNoise can now:
- Identify changes made outside CI/CD (aka ClickOps) in seconds
- Respond immediately to risky activity and quickly investigate - aids in blast radius identification and remediation
- Reduce access review time by over 60 percent
- Prevent runaway infrastructure costs before they balloon
“ClearVector helped us identify a customer-side S3 fetch issue that could have led to a $30,000 dollar bill. We caught it in hours, not days.”
IAM policy tuning and permissions scoping have become collaborative instead of corrective. Engineers now proactively respond to ClearVector alerts and fix issues before they escalate.
