Our primary use case for Blast is preventing cloud misconfigurations by enforcing automated guardrails in our cloud and CI/CD environments.
Blast improves cloud security through automation
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
Blast has helped us shift from constantly reacting to cloud security issues to actually preventing them before they happen. The automated guardrails give us consistency across our multi-cloud environment without slowing down our developers. What I appreciate most is that it strengthens our security posture while still letting our teams move fast.
What is most valuable?
The Impact Simulation helps us test changes safely. Exclusion Management lets us handle edge cases without weakening security. The Graph View helped us map affected cloud resources and manage policies more clearly.
What needs improvement?
Blast could improve with deeper third-party integrations, more customizable dashboards, and expanded support for additional cloud services.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using Blast for 6 months.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The price scales with the size of your cloud environment, and for us the prevention value has more than justified the cost.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We did not evaluate other options before choosing Blast.
What other advice do I have?
I recommend taking the time to fine-tune the guardrails to your environment early on. Once set up, Blast runs smoothly and delivers strong preventive security without slowing teams down.
