PORTSMOUTH, N.H., 10/13/2026 – Blue Mantis, a security-first IT services provider specializing in helping clients achieve business modernization by applying next-generation technologies, today introduced Mantis Genius, an AI-enabled cloud assessment and optimization service that helps organizations more quickly and effectively understand what is running in their cloud environments, identify hidden risks and costs, and decide what to address first. Mantis Genius is available today to existing and new Blue Mantis clients.

As cloud environments grow and change, even the most experienced IT teams can struggle to maintain a clear picture of their resources, configurations, security posture, and spending. Mantis Genius analyzes these areas together across Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure environments. Early assessments conducted with Blue Mantis clients have identified security and configuration issues not previously identified. As part of the Mantis Genius service Blue Mantis experts then review the findings with each client and turn them into a prioritized plan for reducing risk and modernizing the environment.

“Clients often know they need to improve their cloud environment, but getting a reliable picture of where to start can take months,” said Jeff Cratty, vice president of cloud and innovation at Blue Mantis. “Mantis Genius compresses that discovery process into days or even hours. It helps us show Blue Mantis clients what they may be missing, explain which issues matter most, and give them a practical path forward.”

Mantis Genius begins with a Comprehensive Cloud Assessment that examines infrastructure, spending patterns, security exposure, compliance gaps, and configuration issues. It produces a detailed report and recommendations ranked by urgency, potential impact, and level of effort.

Organizations can use Mantis Genius for a focused assessment, such as when a new IT leader inherits an unfamiliar environment, following an acquisition, or ahead of an audit. For customers whose cloud environments change continually, Blue Mantis also offers ongoing cloud health and optimization reviews to track new risks, spending inefficiencies, and progress against the roadmap.

Mantis Genius builds on Blue Mantis’ ever-expanding cloud, cybersecurity, and managed services expertise by leveraging the company’s deep experience across AWS and Azure environments, security assessments, cloud optimization, governance, and managed operations to turn assessment findings into measurable business outcomes.
