Abstract

While AWS, GCP & Azure provide protection with traditional security methodologies and have a neat structure for authorization/configuration, their security is as robust as the person in-charge of creating/assigning these configuration policies. As we all know, human error is inevitable and any such human mistake could lead to catastrophic damage to the environment.

Few vulnerable scenarios:

• Your security groups/policies, password policy or IAM policies are not configured properly
• S3 buckets and Azure blobs are world-readable
• Web servers supporting vulnerable ssl ciphers
• Ports exposed to public with vulnerable services running on them
• If root credentials are used
• Logging or MFA is disabled And many more scenarios…

Knowing all this, audit of cloud infrastructure becomes a hectic task! There are a few open source tools which help in cloud auditing but none of them have an exhaustive checklist. Also, collecting, setting up all the tools and looking at different result sets is a painful task. Moreover, while maintaining big infrastructures, system audit of server instances is a major task as well.

CS Suite is a one stop tool for auditing the security posture of the AWS/GCP/Azure infrastructures and does OS audits as well. CS Suite leverages current open source tools capabilities and has custom checks added into one tool to rule them all.
