imPAC Labs: Secure by Default for New Cloud Environments

When organizations migrate to the cloud or start new projects, development environments are often left vulnerable. Security is typically applied to production accounts, leaving developers to build and test in unsecured environments. The result? Misconfigurations propagate from development to production, creating costly risks and compliance headaches.

imPAC Labs changes this by securing development from day one.

Security That Starts in Development

Rather than retrofitting security into existing environments, imPAC instruments development accounts before any infrastructure or code is deployed. This proactive approach allows organizations to:

1. Catch issues early: Identify and fix misconfigurations as they are created, before they reach production.
2. Prevent production problems: Security problems are stopped in development, reducing risk and remediation costs.
3. Establish secure-by-default practices: Gold-standard guardrails ensure only secure configurations make it to production.

How imPAC Works

1. Day-One Instrumentation: Deploy imPAC immediately after account creation to secure the development environment from the start.
2. Complete Visibility with Asset Chain: Map every resource and relationship across AWS, Azure, and GCP, showing how assets interact and where risks could emerge.
3. Context-Aware Security: Alerts focus on real risks in the context of how resources relate, reducing false positives.
4. Proactive Controls & Playbooks: Prevent misconfigurations automatically and define custom policies with no coding required.
5. Historical Tracking with Time Machine: Monitor every change, audit development security, and validate configurations before production deployment.

Benefits for Your Organization

1. Security: Reduce vulnerabilities, eliminate blind spots, and prevent security debt from accumulating.
2. ‍Operations: Speed up development with accurate alerts, automated remediation, and unified multi-cloud visibility.
3. ‍Business: Minimize risk, demonstrate compliance, and accelerate secure cloud innovation.

Use Cases

1. Cloud migrations, including EDW or data warehouse projects moving from on-prem to the cloud
2. New business units or cloud accounts
3. Greenfield cloud initiatives and pilot projects

As one CISO put it: “imPAC lets us bake gold-standard guardrails into every cloud account. Instead of reacting to misconfigs, we now prevent them before they ever hit production.”

Starting secure in development isn’t just smarter—it’s more efficient, cost-effective, and reliable. With imPAC Labs, your development environment becomes a proactive defense, ensuring security is built in from the ground up.
