ThreatDown provides business security products; available capabilities and costs depend on selected package.
Steampipe addresses SQL queries across cloud services. Using SQL to inspect cloud services is a clever fit for teams that already know relational queries and want ad hoc audits. It is not a replacement for a managed alerting pipeline. Someone still needs to schedule queries and respond to results.
