# Autellar

*/Startups/Autellar*

## Startup Overview

Deployed entirely within the private VPC, this deterministic auto-remediation engine isolates and rolls back undocumented cloud configuration drift. It continuously monitors infrastructure states against declared baselines and automatically reverts unauthorized changes without human intervention.

Cloud security and platform engineering teams struggle to maintain infrastructure integrity as rapid deployment cycles introduce frequent, unrecorded changes. Instead of forcing engineers to rely on manual runbook execution to fix misconfigurations, the platform instantly enforces the known-good state. This eliminates the operational overhead and downtime risk associated with investigating rogue infrastructure modifications.

While legacy cloud security posture management tools like Wiz and Prisma Cloud operate as read-only dashboards that merely generate alert fatigue, this solution actively repairs the environment. By executing remediations locally, it guarantees strict data privacy while converting passive visibility into automated infrastructure enforcement.

## Startup Founding Hypothesis

**Approach**: that isolates and rolls back undocumented cloud configuration drift
**Competitors**:
- [Wiz](/Competitors/Wiz)
- [Prisma Cloud](/Competitors/Prisma_Cloud)
- [manual runbook execution](/Competitors/manual_runbook_execution)
**Differentiator2x2**: a deterministic auto-remediation engine rather than a read-only dashboard, and deployed entirely within the private VPC

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Aiming to reduce mean-time-to-remediation (MTTR) for unauthorized infrastructure drift from hours to under 60 seconds.
- Targeting enterprise security teams seeking zero manual engineering interventions for tier-1 compliance violations.
- Designed to process 10,000+ daily configuration events directly within the customer environment without API throttling.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Standard VPC · Price: ~$1,000–$2,500/mo · Inclusions: Deployment in a single cloud region, up to 10 connected cloud accounts, and standard rollback runbooks for unauthorized security group and IAM changes.
- Name: Enterprise Matrix · Price: ~$4,000–$8,000/mo · Inclusions: Multi-region private VPC deployment, unlimited cloud accounts, custom deterministic auto-remediation playbooks, and ITSM integration for change-ticket validation.
**Guarantee**: If a covered infrastructure resource drifts from its declared baseline and Autellar fails to isolate or revert it within 60 seconds, the buyer receives a full month's subscription credit.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Will this accidentally break production by reverting a legitimate emergency hotfix? Autellar is designed to integrate with change management systems; unauthorized drift is rolled back immediately, while ticket-linked emergency changes automatically update the approved baseline.
- Does this require sending our sensitive cloud architectures to a third-party SaaS? No, the remediation engine deploys entirely within your private VPC; your configuration state and compliance data never leave your environment.
- How is this different from the alerts we already get from Wiz or Prisma Cloud? Traditional CSPMs generate read-only alerts that require manual triage; Autellar provides the deterministic execution engine to automatically undo the drifted change without human intervention.

## Startup Buyer Chain

**Chain**: Autellar → DevSecOps Engineer → Enterprise Cloud Infrastructure Team
**Gtm Motion**: Secures initial deployment through localized proof-of-concept trials targeting DevSecOps engineers facing high-severity drift alerts in a single VPC. Expansion triggers when infrastructure teams mandate the rollback engine across all production cloud accounts and additional private VPCs.
**Agent Channel**: Intended for discovery via autonomous DevOps agent tool registries and local OpenAPI specifications, providing a structured capability endpoint for infrastructure agents to verify configuration state and trigger deterministic rollbacks.
**Primary Channel**: Technical search intent for 'automated AWS configuration drift rollback' and 'Terraform state reconciliation', routing engineers to detailed architectural teardowns and documentation.

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- 14-day scoped pilot in a non-production cloud account targeting unauthorized security group changes, aiming to prove 100 percent rollback success within the 60-second guarantee window.
- 30-day ITSM integration pilot across up to 10 connected cloud accounts to validate that approved emergency change tickets successfully bypass auto-remediation and dynamically update the declared baseline.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: < 60 seconds mean-time-to-remediation (MTTR) for unauthorized infrastructure drift
- Target: 0 manual engineering interventions required for tier-1 compliance violations
- Target: 10,000+ daily configuration events processed per VPC without API throttling
- Aim: 100 percent local retention of configuration state and compliance data during remediation workflows
**Target Case Studies**:
- Mid-market fintech security lead: Eliminates manual triage for IAM drift by adopting the Standard VPC tier, reducing unauthorized access exposure windows to under 60 seconds without expanding headcount.
- Large-enterprise healthcare infrastructure architect: Integrates Autellar with ServiceNow using the Enterprise Matrix tier to automatically validate change tickets, achieving zero-touch rollback of unapproved security group modifications across multi-region environments.
- DevSecOps manager at a SaaS software vendor: Replaces read-only CSPM alerts with deterministic auto-remediation deployed directly inside their private VPC, ensuring sensitive compliance data never leaves their local environment.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- VP of Cloud Security: Validation that emergency hotfixes linked to ITSM tickets seamlessly update the baseline instead of causing catastrophic automated rollbacks.
- Lead Security Engineer: Relief at replacing traditional read-only CSPM alert fatigue with a deterministic execution engine that actually undoes the drifted change.
- Cloud Infrastructure Manager: Confidence in the private VPC deployment model, praising the immediate isolation of unauthorized IAM changes without third-party SaaS data exfiltration.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: Enterprise security teams refuse to grant the automated write-access required for the rollback engine due to fears of causing accidental production downtime. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: Incumbents like Wiz or Prisma Cloud ship active auto-remediation features natively into their widely adopted read-only platforms. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: high · Description: Major cloud providers alter their configuration API structures or rate limits, breaking the deterministic state-matching engine. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: moderate · Description: Deploying the engine entirely within varied customer private VPCs creates severe installation bottlenecks and massive ongoing support overhead. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
