Drift in seconds. Not days.
Traditional CSPMs run on hourly or daily scan cycles. Critical drift events sit undetected for hours. PolicyCortex consumes cloud event streams (CloudTrail, Azure Monitor, GCP Audit Logs) and detects configuration drift inside 5 seconds — before the auditor, before the attacker, before the regulator.

Difference vs Wiz / Prisma / Defender scanning?
Those products use periodic scans (hourly to daily). PolicyCortex consumes the event stream — every configuration change surfaces immediately. The MTTD difference is hours vs seconds.
What about non-cloud drift?
Identity drift (Entra ID, Okta) is consumed via audit log streams. Application-level drift requires app instrumentation — outside our default scope, but integrable.
False positive rate?
AI severity classification suppresses ~80% of low-confidence noise by default. Tunable per-environment. The bottom line: critical findings have very low false-positive rates; everything below 'high' goes to a review queue, not a pager.
Cost of stream ingestion?
CloudTrail / Azure Monitor / GCP Audit Logs are already enabled in most environments. PolicyCortex reads them; no additional logging cost beyond what you already pay your cloud provider.
