Getting Started

Set up your Zaun environment and start securing your organization.

Get up and running with Zaun in just a few steps.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

  • An active Zaun account (book a call to get started)
  • Admin access to the cloud services and identity providers you want to monitor
  • A designated point of contact for your Forward Deployed Security Engineer (FDSE)

Step 1: Onboarding Call

Your journey begins with an onboarding call with your assigned FDSE. During this call, we'll:

  1. Review your current security posture and tooling
  2. Identify the highest-priority detection areas for your environment
  3. Plan the integration timeline
  4. Set up access to the Zaun platform

Step 2: Connect Your Data Sources

Zaun integrates with your existing infrastructure. Common first integrations include:

# Example: Connecting an AWS account
zaun integrations add aws \
  --account-id 123456789012 \
  --role-arn arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/ZaunSecurityAudit \
  --regions us-east-1,us-west-2

See the Integrations guide for the full list of supported platforms.

Step 3: Review Initial Findings

Within days of connecting your data sources, Zaun begins generating findings. Your FDSE will:

  • Review the initial findings with you
  • Tune detections to reduce noise specific to your environment
  • Create custom runbooks for your team's workflows

Step 4: Operationalize

Once detections are tuned, you'll have:

  • Documented runbooks for every detection
  • Full investigation transparency: see what fired, what ran, what changed
  • Custom coverage that ships weekly based on your evolving needs
