Nova

Cloud security, SecOps and controlled response. One connected platform.

Nova is an AI-Native Autonomous Cloud Defense Platform, or ACDP. It brings CNAPP cloud security capabilities and SecOps workflows into one evidence-connected system, helping teams understand cloud exposure, prioritize active threats, investigate related activity, improve detection coverage, and coordinate supported response actions.

Cloud risk and active threats do not stay inside one security tool

A risky cloud configuration can become more urgent when the affected asset is externally reachable, connected to a privileged identity, or involved in suspicious activity. Nova keeps those relationships together so cloud security teams and SOC analysts can work from the same evidence instead of rebuilding the incident across separate consoles.

Cloud security and CNAPP

See assets, posture, exposure and attack paths as one cloud risk picture.

Nova connects cloud inventory, configuration findings, sensitive data context, access relationships, external exposure, attack paths, and control evidence. Teams can see which weakness affects an important resource and which missing assessment still limits the conclusion.

Security operations and SOC workflow

Prioritize alerts with cloud, behavior and threat context already attached.

Nova brings alert scoring, behavioral anomalies, threat intelligence, event search, investigation ownership, and case progress into the daily SecOps workflow. Analysts can move from the queue into the affected users, assets, and supporting events without losing the reason the case matters.

Autonomous engines with accountable control

Automate analysis and preparation while people retain authority over high-impact action.

Nova uses specialized autonomous engines for behavior analysis, alert prioritization, detection improvement, security reasoning, recurring threat patterns, adversary modeling, and response coordination. Autonomous means that an engine can perform a defined analytical task, preserve its supporting evidence, and prepare a next step. It does not mean unrestricted action.

FAQ

Questions about What Is Nova? AI-Native Cloud Security and SecOps.

What is Nova?

Nova is an AI-Native Autonomous Cloud Defense Platform, or ACDP. It combines CNAPP cloud security capabilities with SecOps detection, prioritization, behavior analytics, threat intelligence, threat hunting, investigation, detection improvement, and governed response. Security teams can connect a cloud finding to related alerts and affected assets, then investigate and coordinate the next steps in one platform.

Is Nova a CNAPP?

Nova includes CNAPP capabilities for cloud asset inventory, Cloud Security Posture Management, external exposure, attack paths, cloud data context, supported code and workload checks, compliance evidence, and cloud threat detection. Nova is positioned as an ACDP because it carries that cloud context into SecOps prioritization, investigation, autonomous analysis, detection improvement, and governed response.

Which security domains does Nova bring together?

Nova covers cloud asset inventory, configuration checks, data exposure, attack surface management, and compliance evidence. SOC teams can use alert triage, behavior analytics, threat intelligence, threat hunting, detection engineering, investigation, and supported response actions.

What does autonomous mean in Nova?

Nova can analyze activity, score alerts, identify unusual behavior, and prepare detection improvements automatically where the required data and controls are available. Response actions still require the appropriate permissions, policy checks, and approvals. Autonomous does not mean unrestricted action.

Can Nova work with an existing security stack?

Yes, where the required connection is supported. Nova can connect cloud, identity, endpoint, software service, intelligence, ticketing and response systems. Hansec confirms the exact evidence, action and permission coverage for each environment.

Is every Nova capability available in every deployment?

No. Available features depend on your subscription, enabled modules, connected systems, and user permissions. Hansec confirms what is included and any relevant regional limits before onboarding.

Which teams is Nova designed for?

Nova is designed for enterprise security operations, cloud security, detection engineering, security leadership and managed security service teams that need evidence-backed decisions, separated customer boundaries and controlled response.
