prowler VS steampipe-mod-aws-compliance

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.

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

Here is a good open source option to get started: https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler

In a prior post I showed how to install Steampipe in AWS CloudShell to instantly query over 460+ resource types from your AWS APIs using SQL, and another post on how to use the Steampipe AWS Compliance mod to assess over 25+ security benchmarks across your AWS accounts.

The Steampipe AWS Compliance mod, is packed with hundreds of controls that check your AWS accounts for compliance with 25 benchmarks including NIST, PCI, HIPAA, SOC2, FedRAMP and more, now includes new controls for AWS CIS v2.0. If you're new to Steampipe, download Steampipe, install and configure the AWS plugin, and run these commands.
