prowler VS ThreatMapper

1. Prowler: https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler Prowler provides security best practices assessments, audits, incident response readiness, and continuous monitoring for AWS environments.

Which cloud provider?

https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler is easy to get going with, and gives decent results. It's much stronger at AWS than GCP or Azure.

Steampipe can be a little harder to wrap your head around, but scales really well and has broader support: https://hub.steampipe.io/mods?objectives=security

Task Role: Select or create a new role that has the necessary permissions. Ensure this role has the three required Prowler policies and an additional custom policy to put objects into the desired S3 bucket.

Prowler and ScoutSuite are a good start for cloud stuff.

Yes! There are open source cloud security tools! Here are some open source tools out there: steampipe, prowler, cloudquery, and ZeusCloud.

If AWS is in use then i would add prowler to the list - https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler This is the best open source cspm for aws.

More info you can find it at Prowler Github and Prowler Docs

You’re not going to find a shiny enterprise web ui for free but there are tools out there. If you just want to review AWS accounts, you can use prowler https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler

Though the Reddit-Mod war has delivered another excellent find. well several actually, but the one I'm posting now is called "Threat Mapper". Its a security scanner, will a fantastic UI, and works across most infrastructure... including VMs, Containers and the main Cloud Providers..

If you like Wiz.io but don't have a million dollars or so lying around, I'm finding the community edition of Deepfence (https://deepfence.io/) pretty good.

ThreatMapper is an option for your team member, particularly if you're looking to scan Kubernetes or Fargate environments as the installation is very easy. It's a little more complex for hosts (you need to install a docker runtime on each to run the sensor locally), but should be worth any additional trouble. The GUI gives you a map of workloads, traffic flows, vulnerabilities found on each workload and host, and which are highest risk.

Full disclosure - I work for an open source project called ThreatMapper that performs run-time vulnerability scanning and anything you say might be used to make the project better - thank you!
