About Hexa

Hexa is an open-source, standards-based policy orchestration platform designed to unify access policy management across multi-cloud and hybrid IT environments. It enables enterprises to discover, translate, and orchestrate access policies consistently across diverse cloud providers, applications, data platforms, and network systems without requiring changes to existing infrastructure. Hexa leverages the Identity Query Language (IDQL), a declarative policy framework, to simplify policy definition and enforcement across heterogeneous systems.

Targeted at large enterprises managing complex cloud ecosystems, Hexa addresses challenges related to policy proliferation, vendor lock-in, and inconsistent access controls. Its agentless and proxyless architecture allows rapid deployment and seamless integration with existing DevOps and CI/CD pipelines, facilitating policy-as-code practices. By providing a universal access policy abstraction layer, Hexa supports zero trust architectures and enhances security posture while enabling portability and vendor choice across cloud platforms.

How to evaluate Cloud Security & CSPM

CIOPages Research Team evaluation framework for this category — not an assessment of Hexa. From our Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) buyer guide.

25%
Risk Prioritization & Attack-Path Analysis
Context graph that correlates misconfiguration, internet reachability, identity/permissions, vulnerabilities, secrets, and data sensitivity into ranked attack paths to crown-jewel assets; toxic-combination detection; quality of the “fix these 10” output versus raw finding volume; false-positive rate in your own accounts
20%
Coverage Model: Agentless Breadth vs. Runtime Depth
Agentless snapshot/API scanning for fast 100%-estate visibility versus agent/eBPF runtime for in-production threat detection (CDR); container, serverless, and Kubernetes (KSPM) coverage; how the two models combine without double-counting; performance impact and deployment friction
20%
Multi-Cloud & Platform Consolidation (CNAPP)
Depth and parity across AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, and Kubernetes from one console; how many of CSPM, CIEM, CWPP, DSPM, KSPM, and code/IaC security are genuinely unified on one data model versus bolted-on acquisitions; single policy and one risk score across domains
15%
Identity & Entitlements (CIEM)
Effective-permission analysis across human and machine identities, cross-account and federated role mapping, detection of unused and over-privileged entitlements, least-privilege right-sizing recommendations, and privilege escalation / lateral-movement path discovery
10%
Remediation, Automation & Developer Workflow
Guided and auto-remediation, IaC and pull-request fixes (shift-left to code), guardrails that prevent drift, ticketing/SOAR integration, ownership routing to the right team, and API/Terraform coverage for security-as-code
10%
Compliance, Reporting & SOC Integration
Out-of-the-box frameworks (CIS, PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, FedRAMP, NIST) with custom policy authoring, audit-ready evidence and drift history, RBAC/SSO on the console, and clean export of correlated cloud risk into the SIEM/SOC rather than a siloed dashboard
