Build-time scanners check what's in your repo. reCost checks what's actually running in production , the IAM roles accessing data, the SDK versions making requests, the services that should never be there.
Snyk, Dependabot, and SCA tools scan your code. They don't see what's running. Old Lambda functions, forgotten services, EOL runtimes , they're in production, making real requests.
Every S3 request carries the SDK version, IAM role, and user agent that made it. reCost cross-references these against EOL runtimes and CVE databases in real time.
EOL SDK detection, CVE matching, boundary violations, first-time role access, browser access to production buckets.
Know which IAM roles access which buckets and prefixes. Detect roles with unexpectedly broad access.
Identify new writers and unrecognised services the moment they appear on your S3 environment.
"nodejs10.x Lambda , EOL since 2021 , still making requests to production S3. Three years past end of support, actively hitting a sensitive bucket."
Never flagged by their SCA tool. Visible in reCost on day one.
Works with your existing AWS setup. Read-only access. No agents. No data exposure.
