Sick of writing cloud assessment reports? ARGOS writes them for you.
Founder of ARGOS Cloud Security.
Former Microsoft Azure MVP (10 years), private pilot, dad.
Reminder! It's almost time that those old pesky TLS versions are turned off by Microsoft. Use ARGOS to help your customers (or yourself) to understand where to start.
Watch this short demo of ARGOS in action.

🔥 Hottest latest release! 🔥

Why is this "demo" Entra ID user a potential security issue?
Explain in one simple image why.
(Hint: Global Reader, and access to an Azure Resource Group with important resources, ARGOS also told you "no MFA" 😱)

The recent writeup of the OuttaTune vulnerability (cirriustech.co.uk/blog/outtatu...) by Graham G. inspired us to add and update the following detection into ARGOS.

"Ensure only compliant devices can access M365 Office resources"

What's this? In the upcoming release ARGOS's cloud assessments will show E2E info from #EntraID to #Azure.
Entra apps with security issues and access to Azure resources or a user with admin permissions that has User Access Admin permissions on a Subscription?

This was an interesting one. Odd errors when attempting to execute #PowerShell from within ARGOS, a c# application running on Linux Azure Functions. These errors took us down a rabbit hole with an interesting root cause and simple solution.

TIL: Basically the same workflow on GitHub Actions, moved from windows-latest (bottom run) to ubuntu-latest (top run) is almost 50% faster.

The top run even has one additional step in it downloading and extracting a 70MB tar from the internet.

📎 Cloud Attack Paths 👀

Identifying how someone / something can "walk" through your #Azure cloud is important, and often not trivial.
Instead of manual digging, go get a cup of tea and have ARGOS draw you a picture of the environment.

Little sneak peak! Customers ask us regularly "can we build our own #PowerBI dashboard with ARGOS data?". You sure can!
We're no PowerBI wizards, but if you are, you have lots of data available to play with.

Demo video to come next week.

Apparently, there are still people that don't know how awesome our cloud assessment reports are.
People that still write reports for Azure or Entra ID from scratch.

I feel for you. I recommend you take a look at our sample reports right away.

I hate writing reports, always have.
Do you also hate writing reports?
Yes, but it's part of your job as a consultant when doing cloud reviews for your customers?

Fret no more! Download examples here!

👀 ARGOS now checks if there is a conditional access policy in your Entra ID that blocks device code flow authentication as per Microsoft guidance.

Love feedback like this. They've been one of our earliest customers, shaping the product, and in turn getting great results for them and their customers when assessing Azure and Entra ID / M365 environments.
For consultancies, saving time = saving money.

Has anybody managed to use bicep to connect a Flex Consumption #Azure Function to a subnet / vnet integration?

All I'm getting is this error in the screenshot (when testing via portal). The portal says the subnet is available for integration.
No, no other error, of course.
