We built a free open source alternative to Wiz for Azure — here is how it works
OpenShield is a free, open-source Cloud Security Posture Management platform designed for Azure. It scans Azure subscriptions for misconfigurations and provides automated remediation playbooks for each finding. Developed by students and engineers, OpenShield aims to make cloud security accessible to organizations that cannot afford expensive enterprise tools.
- ▪OpenShield offers over 20 scan rules across six categories, including storage, network, identity, database, compute, and key vault.
- ▪Each finding is automatically mapped to compliance frameworks such as CIS Azure Benchmark and NIST CSF.
- ▪The platform includes a Flask REST API for accessing scan results and compliance scores.
