## What is Scout Suite?

Scout Suite is an open source multi-cloud security auditing tool that gathers configuration data from cloud providers through their APIs to assess security posture and identify potential risks.

The tool supports multiple cloud platforms including AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Alibaba Cloud, Oracle Cloud, and Kubernetes clusters. It automatically collects configuration information from these environments and presents findings in a security-focused format.

Scout Suite highlights risk areas within cloud configurations and provides visibility into the attack surface of audited cloud accounts. The tool generates reports that allow for manual inspection of security configurations and potential vulnerabilities.

Designed by security consultants and auditors, Scout Suite offers a security-oriented perspective of cloud environments, making it suitable for security assessments and compliance auditing activities. The tool operates by connecting to cloud provider APIs to retrieve configuration data without requiring agent installation.
