Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about VarTech Security

VarTech runs 100% within YOUR AWS account via CloudFormation deployment from AWS Marketplace. We never have access to your infrastructure or security findings. All scan results are stored in your own S3 buckets, ensuring complete data sovereignty.

Tier 1 covers foundational privilege escalation vectors: SSH keys, UID=0 accounts, sudo configurations, and shadow accounts. Tier 2 goes deeper into persistence mechanisms: cron jobs, systemd services, shell profiles, init scripts, and kernel modules.

PAM solutions focus on credential management and access controls, but they don't scan for server-level backdoors. VarTech complements your PAM by detecting the privilege escalation paths that PAM misses. Think of it as "validating your PAM."

A complete scan of 50 EC2 instances takes under 5 minutes. VarTech is designed to be lightweight with minimal impact on server performance.

VarTech maintains a baseline of your configurations and flags NEW backdoors versus established configurations. This helps you distinguish between intentional configurations and potentially malicious changes.
