How Scanning Works
When you trigger a scan — either manually or on a schedule — Amnify connects to your cloud provider using the credentials you configured in Integrations, inspects every resource in scope, and evaluates it against hundreds of security checks. Each check evaluates a specific security best practice — for example, whether storage accounts enforce encryption, or whether IAM users have MFA enabled. A check either passes (the resource is correctly configured) or fails (a finding is created).What You Get After a Scan
Severity Levels
Every finding is classified by severity:Security Score
Your Security Score is the percentage of checks that passed out of all checks evaluated. It appears on the Dashboard and includes a trend indicator comparing to your previous scan — so you can see at a glance whether your security posture is improving, declining, or stable.Multi-Cloud Aggregation
If you have multiple cloud providers connected, the Dashboard aggregates results across all of them by default. You can filter by a specific provider using the cloud filter dropdown available on most pages.Where to Go Next
