AWS CIS: Manage cloud security posture on AWS infrastructure

AWS Foundations CIS Benchmarks provide a compliance standard to enhance cloud security posture in AWS environments by offering prescriptive instructions for configuring services according to industry best practices. These benchmarks address challenges such as cloud misconfigurations and the dynamic nature of AWS environments, offering guidance across seven core categories, including Identity and Access Management, Storage, Logging, Monitoring, and Networking. The latest version, 1.3.0, released by the Center for Internet Security, includes recommendations for controls that ensure security measures like multi-factor authentication, encryption, and restricted access to sensitive data. Sysdig Secure for cloud integrates with these benchmarks to automate compliance assessments, enabling continuous monitoring and detection of cloud misconfigurations and threats, while offering additional capabilities such as runtime detection and image scanning. This alignment with AWS CIS Benchmarks helps organizations maintain robust security, governance, and compliance across their cloud infrastructure.
