AI-Powered IT Visibility and Cyber Asset Management

CloudSphere tackles a problem that undermines both security and cloud strategy: most enterprises cannot see everything they actually run. Formed from the merger of iQuate and HyperGrid and built on more than two decades of discovery technology, the company provides continuous, accurate visibility across the entire IT estate, from on-premises data centers to hybrid and multi-cloud environments, serving CIOs, CISOs, and IT operations leaders from offices in Palo Alto and Dublin.

Its flagship Illuminate360 platform performs agentless discovery of workloads, applications, and services, then applies AI-driven contextual mapping to automatically link those assets to the business services they support. The resulting live service map powers a range of use cases: cyber asset management and attack surface awareness, migration planning ranked by risk and complexity, rightsizing and cost-savings recommendations across AWS and Azure, end-of-life reporting for operating systems and applications, and compliance monitoring enriched by external vulnerability data.

What sets CloudSphere apart is its application-centric approach — grouping cloud resources by the application they belong to rather than as isolated infrastructure — so security policies, migration waves, and spend decisions all inherit real business context. The company has extended this asset intelligence into a knowledge graph designed to give generative AI and LLM-based IT workflows a trustworthy ground truth, positioning the same discovery engine that guides migrations as a foundation for securing and automating the modern enterprise estate.
