Know the true cost of what you are not preventing.

Every unenforced cloud policy is a bet against production. See what your team spends, in dollars and engineer hours, chasing misconfigurations after they have shipped, and what changes when they are stopped before they exist.

Cost breakdown, per category

The fully loaded cost of taking one misconfiguration through monitoring, remediation, and its statistical downstream risk, scaled to your annual alert volume.

Cost component

What it covers

Per misconfig

Closing the exposure window

Detection finds issues that already exist in production. Aryon prevents them from ever being deployed, eliminating the exposure window and the remediation cost. Proportions are illustrative.

Detect and fix

Deploy

Undetected in production

Triage

Remediate

Exposure window open from deploy until remediation lands.

With Aryon

Deploy

Prevented

No exposure, no triage

Blocked at the attempt: the resource never reaches production.

Full path coverage

IaC scanning sees only declarative code. Aryon covers every provisioning path: console, CLI, scripts, third parties, agents, enforced natively in the cloud.

Not covered

After deploy

Prevented

Aryon enforces at the cloud control plane, so coverage does not depend on how a change was authored: console, CLI, pipeline, third party or agent.

Beyond the dollars

Smaller attack surface

Prevented misconfigurations never create an exposure window for attackers to exploit.

Less firefighting

Fewer production findings means fewer late night remediations and less friction between security and engineering.

Faster, safer delivery

Developers get guided, secure defaults at deploy time instead of after the fact rework.

Measurable maturity

A preventive model builds security awareness into engineering teams, and the improvement is measurable over time.

Three year outlook

Cumulative value protected if your current alert volume holds flat for three years, a conservative view since most cloud footprints grow.

Methodology and sources

Figures use Aryon’s internal ROI model for US mid and large enterprises in regulated industries with medium to high cloud and DevOps maturity, using conservative, low end assumptions throughout. Your inputs scale the model to your environment. Nothing here reflects a specific quote or contract.

Monitoring and triage: SOC L1 analyst reviews and prioritizes the alert, about 20 minutes. US Bureau of Labor Statistics 2024 wages and benefits.
Remediation: cloud engineer fixes, security architect reviews, about 2 hours plus 0.5 hours. BLS 2024 wage medians.
Security tooling: fractional cost per finding, from native monitoring to premium CSPM.
Operational impact: downtime risk from some fixes, 5% chance of a 5 minute outage at $300K per hour. ITIC 2024 downtime survey.
Statistical breach cost: 1 in 4,000 to 8,000 misconfigurations leads to a breach, at the US average of $10.22M. IBM Cost of a Data Breach 2025, Verizon DBIR 2025.
Compliance exposure: compliance officer and architect time, plus the share causing finable violations. PCI SSC and HIPAA/OCR penalty guidance.

This report is directional. We will build the model with your actual alert volume, wage bands, and cloud footprint, and show Aryon stopping a live misconfiguration on your own cloud.
