## Found, explained, handed over.

Exposure and fragility, security posture and single points of failure.

- 01. Detect — ZopNight checks this automatically across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, with read-only access to the account.
- 02. Explain — Every finding says exactly what to change: Switch the deployment to a rolling update.
- 03. Fix — The finding opens with the change already spelled out, so the fix is one ticket, not an investigation.
