It's the pre-resource cost. So it's X number of dollars per number of resources, depending on how many VMs you have, how many services are running, how many cloud functions, how many IMs are used, et cetera. It tallies up all those different things and then bases the problem on that. So it's relative to how big your project is, and that will be very specific to each use case. I don't know the specific pricing. I would say for a smaller company; it's an affordable solution. The thing that makes Bridgecrew super attractive is that for half the price of what it costs to hire a full-time security person, this will provide you with a whole lot of security coverage. Somebody still needs to go in there and do the work of securing things. In terms of doing a full-scale analysis of your platform, it's worth the money since you would have to pay another person full-time to do the work it would do. It would also go way slower than the software. In that way, it's a really good investment.
I'm not privy to a lot of the pricing information. From what I've seen, smaller companies are able to purchase them without blowing their budget out of the water. With Splunk conversation or even Azure Sentinel, a lot of smaller companies are not able to leverage those tools properly as the cost is insane. If these companies with less than a thousand employees are able to purchase them and use them effectively, then I don't see cost being a huge problem for other companies. I could be wrong there, I'm not a CFO or anything.
