Leonard Esere's profile on Product Hunt

About

Cloud security architect turned founder. 11+ years building and securing infrastructure inside Los Alamos National Laboratory, MITRE Corporation, USAA, and Frontier Airlines. Active DoD Secret and DoE Q security clearances. Built PolicyCortex because I got tired of managing 6 disconnected tools that could find problems but never fix them. 600K+ lines of production TypeScript, 4 U.S. patents filed, and the organizations I built this for are now my first customers. Shipping autonomous cloud governance for defense contractors and regulated enterprises.

Why we built autonomous remediation (and why nobody else has)

Every cloud security tool on the market is read-only. Detect, alert, dashboard, create ticket. Repeat. We spent 11+ years inside LANL, MITRE, and USAA watching engineers spend 2-3 days manually fixing what should take 30 seconds. PolicyCortex is the first platform that actually writes to production, protected by a patent-pending Safety Sandwich architecture: deterministic guardrails before and after every AI-driven change, with full rollback. Curious what other builders think about autonomous systems in production. Would you trust AI to fix your cloud infrastructure?

PolicyCortex - AI cloud engineer that fixes security issues autonomously

PolicyCortex detects security violations, compliance gaps, and cost anomalies in your cloud -- then autonomously remediates them in minutes. Replaces Wiz, Prisma Cloud, CloudHealth, and 4 other tools with one unified AI platform.

PolicyCortex - Autonomous Cloud Engineer. Compliant in seconds.

Stop treating developers like security guards. PolicyCortex is the first Autonomous Cloud Engineer that actively manages your infrastructure. Unlike tools that just spam you with alerts, PolicyCortex autonomously fixes misconfigurations, rightsizes expensive resources, and enforces compliance (SOC2/ISO) in real-time. We handle the cognitive load of IAM, drift detection, and FinOps so your team can focus on shipping. Don't just monitor your cloud—engineer it autonomously.
