More Information
Summary:An apparatus comprises a processing device configured to receive, at a trust platform configured to manage cloud assets operating in clouds of two or more cloud service providers, self-reported risk information for at least a subset of the cloud assets on which workloads of a given entity run. The processing device is also configured to obtain, utilizing application programming interfaces of the trust platform, first and second sets of cloud asset risk data generated by first and second pluralities of monitoring tools operating in tenant and management environments of the clouds. The processing device is further configured to determine multi-cloud relative risk information for the subset of cloud assets by adjusting the self-reported risk information utilizing the first and second sets of cloud asset risk data, and to perform risk management for the subset of cloud assets based at least in part on the determined multi-cloud relative risk information.
