Most teams know they have public S3 buckets. They don’t know which ones matter.
Public exposure is one of the most common AWS security misconfigurations. Large environments contain hundreds or thousands of storage resources across accounts and regions. Some are intentionally public. Many are not.
The problem isn’t just finding exposed resources. It’s understanding which exposures could actually lead to cloud data breaches and which ones are safe to leave alone.
Find and understand exposed Amazon S3 buckets
Surface all publicly accessible Amazon S3 buckets and organize them into a single, centralized view across your AWS environment.
Exposure alone doesn’t provide enough context. For every bucket, DataDefender™ shows:
- The types of data stored inside
- Whether sensitive data is present
- High-level data composition
- Signals that help your team assess risk
This allows your team to detect data exposure in AWS and understand the real impact of each resource.
Prioritize exposure based on real risk
Not every exposed bucket requires action.
DataDefender helps your team evaluate exposure based on what actually matters: the presence and type of data inside the resource.
Review each resource and categorize it as:
- Needs review
- Approved
- In violation
This creates a consistent way to prioritize exposure and supports faster data breach mitigation and breach response.
Manage exposure at scale
As your environment grows, manual tracking breaks down.
DataDefender allows you to:
- Review multiple buckets at once
- Approve or flag resources in bulk
- Maintain visibility into what has been reviewed and what still needs attention
This enables teams to manage AWS S3 exposure risk across hundreds of accounts and thousands of buckets without operational overhead.
