Unprotected S3 buckets are one of the major causes of data theft and intrusions. With the exception of S3 buckets used for hosting public websites, no S3 buckets should be publicly accessible for unauthenticated users or for 'Any AWS Authenticated Users'.
AWS S3 buckets cannot be publicly accessible for READ/WRITE actions in order to protect S3 data from unauthorized users. An S3 bucket that allows WRITE (UPLOAD/DELETE) access to everyone (i.e. anonymous users) can provide attackers the capability to add, delete and replace objects within the bucket, which can lead to data loss, unintended changes to applications using the S3 bucket, a big bill or all three.
To remediate this issue:
- S3 buckets should be protected by using the bucket ACL and bucket policies.
- If you want to share data via S3 buckets to other users.
- you could create pre-signed URLs which will be valid only for short duration.
- For example, the following command will generate a pre-signed URL for the file 'samplefile.zip': aws s3 presign --expires-in 36000 s3://sharedfolder/samplefile.zip
- This command will generate pre-signed URLS for every object in a S3 bucket.
aws s3 ls --recursive s3://sharedfolder | awk '{print $4}' | while read line; do aws s3 presign --expires-in 36000 s3://sharedfolder/$line; done
- For all automation-related work, use the bucket policy and grant access to the required roles.
It is best practice to allow required IP ranges and specific port in the security groups that will be used for securing EC2 instances in private subnets.
To remediate this issue:
- Edit the security groups and allow only specific IP ranges and ports.
A RDS snapshot may contain sensitive or customer information. No RDS snapshot should be made public, although there may be some rare cases where this is required. Such cases have to go through the exemption process.
To remediate this issue:
- Make the snapshot private.
EC2 instances should not be publicly accessible from internet (Except for the servers in DMZ zone). Ideally these instances should be behind a firewall (AWS WAF or any other firewall).
To remediate this issue:
- Do not allow public access to well known ports of an EC2 instance directly.
Amazon GuardDuty is a managed threat detection service that continuously monitors your VPC flow logs, CloudTrail event logs and DNS logs for malicious or unauthorized behavior. When GuardDuty detects a suspicious or unexpected behavior in your AWS account, it generates a finding. A finding is a notification that contains information about a potential security threat identified by the GuardDuty service. The finding details includes data about the finding actor, the AWS resource(s) involved in the suspicious activity, the time when the activity occurred and so on.
To remediate this issue:
- Follow the step by step guide line provided for each finding from the GuardDuty console.
Global permission to access the well known services like RDP on port 3389 (Windows RDP) should not be allowed.
To remediate this issue:
- Do not allow public access to well known ports of an EC2 instance directly (except for 80 and 443).
Charges begin when a volume is created. If a volume remains unattached or has very low write activity (excluding boot volumes) for a period of time, the volume is probably not being used.
To remediate this issue:
- Consider creating a snapshot and deleting the volume to reduce costs.
Yellow: A volume is unattached or had less than 1 IOPS per day for the past 7 days.
Depending on the purpose for which the EBS was used, the snapshot might carry sensitive information about its cloud ecosystem, customer PII, customer CPNI or other sensitive data. The cases where a publicly accessible snapshot is very rare; such cases have to go through an exemption process.
To remediate this issue:
- Make the snapshot private.
A RDS snapshot may contain sensitive or customer information. No RDS snapshot should be made public from our accounts. There are very rare cases where this might be required. Those cases have to go through exception process.
To remediate this issue:
- Make the snapshot private
If an Amazon Redshift cluster has not had a connection for a prolonged period of time or is using a low amount of CPU, we can use lower-cost options such as downsizing the cluster or shutting down the cluster and taking a final snapshot.
Yellow: A running cluster has not had a connection in the last 7 days. Yellow: A running cluster had less than 5% cluster-wide average CPU utilization for 99% of the last 7 days.
To remediate this issue:
- Consider shutting down the cluster and taking a final snapshot
- Or downsizeg the cluster
EIPs are static IP addresses designed for dynamic cloud computing. Unlike traditional static IP addresses, EIPs can mask the failure of an instance or Availability Zone by remapping a public IP address to another instance in your account. A nominal charge is imposed for an EIP that is not associated with a running instance.
To remediate this issue:
- Associate the EIP with a running active instance
- Or Release the unassociated EIP
If a DB instance has not had a connection for a prolonged period of time, you can delete the instance to reduce costs. If persistent storage is needed for data on the instance, you can use lower-cost options such as taking and retaining a DB snapshot. Manually created DB snapshots are retained until you delete them.
To remediate this issue:
- Consider taking a snapshot of the idle DB instance and then deleting it
Un-used assets should be terminated promptly for obvious cost saving reasons
To remediate this issue:
- Terminate the ELB if it is no longer required
A publicly accessible database end-point would be vulnerable to bruteforce login attempts and subsequent data leak /loss. Unauthorised access attempts should be restricted to minimize security risks.
To remediate this issue:
- To restrict access to any publicly accessible RDS database instance, you must disable the database Publicly Accessible flag and update the VPC security group associated with the instance.
Enforce a strong password policy on IAM console authentications. By default AWS does not configure the maximal strength password complexity policy on your behalf.
To remediate this issue:
- Log into your AWS console
- Go to the IAM service
- On the left menu select Password Policy which should be the bottom option
- Set the Minimum Password Length form field to XX (or higher) and Select each of the checkboxes so that all four required complexity options are selected
All the AWS accounts should have guard duty enabled. Amazon GuardDuty is a managed threat detection service that continuously monitors for malicious or unauthorized behavior to help you protect your AWS accounts and workloads. It monitors for activity such as unusual API calls or potentially unauthorized deployments that indicate a possible account compromise. GuardDuty also detects potentially compromised instances or reconnaissance by attackers
To remediate this issue:
- Enable Guardduty for all regions.
Cleaning up un-used security groups is best practice to keep the security groups upto date and relevant.
To remediate this issue:
- Delete the unused security groups
Un-used assets should be terminated promptly for obvious cost saving reasons
To remediate this issue:
- Delete the volume if it is no longer required
Checks your Elastic Load Balancing configuration for load balancers that are not actively used. Any load balancer that is configured accrues charges. If a load balancer has no associated back-end instances or if network traffic is severely limited, the load balancer is not being used effectively.
To remediate this issue:
- If your load balancer has no active back-end instance then consider registering instances or deleting your load balancer
Un-used assets should be terminated promptly for obvious cost saving reasons
To remediate this issue:
- Terminate the ELB if it is no longer required
Stopped EC2 instances still incur cost for the volumes, elastic IP associated with it, potential AWS marketplace license costs as well.
To remediate this issue:
- Terminate the EC2 instance if it is no longer required.
VPC flow logs provide vital information for debugging and forensic exercise in case of any incidents. These should be always enabled
To remediate this issue:
- Enable VPC flow logs
Deprecated EC2 instance types (Old generation instance types) should not be used. Using old generation instance types have cost implication, they are not covered in our RI purchase as well
To remediate this issue:
- Stop the instance and change the instance type to a newer generation one and start it
Checks the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances that were running at any time during the last 14 days and alerts yu if the daily CPU utilization was 10% or less and network I/O was 5 MB or less on 4 or more days.
To remediate this issue:
- Consider stopping or terminating instances that have low utilization
Every AWS account should be configured with corp AD as IAM Identity provider. This identity provider is required for logging into AWS with our corp AD account
To remediate this issue:
- Add the corp AD identity provider configuration back to the AWS account
Only the role named 'Admin' should have full access to IAM. No other AWS role is supposed have IAM full access.
To remediate this issue:
- Remove the IAM privilleges from that role.
AWS Lambda is cheap but is pay per use. An errant lambda function calling itself, cyclic lambda function calls between functions can result is huge bills. Any lambda functions that is going to exceed 1 million executions a day should be reviewed.
To remediate this issue:
- Review the code and design and inspect if there is any problem with the logic. If it known and expected behavior please request for an exception.
To prevent data theft and data loss all Mongo DBs should be protected with access control mechanism.
To remediate this issue:
- Disable anonymous access to MongoDB
Access keys of IAM accounts should be rotated every 90 days in order to decrease the likelihood of accidental exposures and protect AWS resources against unauthorized access
To remediate this issue:
- Rotate the access keys every 90 days
All publicly accessible API behind API gateway should be protected with at least one custom authorizer
AWS API gateway resources are by default publicly accessible, all of the API resources should be protected by a Authorizer or a API key. Unprotected API's can lead to data leaks and security breaches.
To remediate this issue:
- Protect the API gateway with an API key OR Use a custom authorizers at the gateway level
IAM users who have not logged into AWS and have no API activity for 90 days will be considered inactive IAM users and their accounts will be terminated.
To remediate this issue:
- Reach out to [email protected] for exceptions
All AWS service limits should be extended from time to time based on the growing needs. Cloudformation execution, Auotscalling or A,B deplymnet for production workloads may fail if the service limit is reached causing downtime. Proactively service limits should be extended when limit thresholds reach 75% or above
To remediate this issue:
- Open a case with AWS and increase the service limits
All AWS assets should be tagged with following mandatory tags. Application, XXX, YYY and ZZZ. Assets without these mandatory tags will be marked as non-complaint. Below is an example for the tag value pairs.
Tag name: Application Example value: Rebellion
Each asset should at least have these 4 mandatory tags. You can have additional tags as well.
To remediate this issue:
- Add the mandatory tags to the assets
- Follow the Cloud Asset Tagging guidelines.
This policy can applied for all AWS resources types which can be taggable. example(EC2/S3/Lambda/RDS.....).
All AWS assets in T-Mobile using some standard region (us-est/west). As part of this rule if the resource finds non-standard region it should report as violation.
To remediate this issue:
Global permission to access the well known services like HTTP on port 80 should not be allowed.
To remediate this issue:
- Do not allow global access to well known ports of an EC2 instance directly (except for 80 and 443)
AWS Elastic Search should not be publicly accessible from internet to protect data from unauthorized user access, data loss and possible leakage of sensitive data. As a general if you need to put anything internet facing it has to go through security review and approval from DSO.
To remediate this issue:
- Make necessary changes to the access control policy and security groups to make the ES endpoint private
- Allow only a specific list of IP addresses
- Once the Elastic Search endpoint is not publicly accessible PacBot will auotmatically close the issue
- You can also request exception from the policy violation details page
- Secops will review and involve DSO if required and grant exception and PacBot will automatically ignore this resource till the expiry of exception.
All internet facing ELB's will be marked as a policy violation. You would need to request for an exception by providing Cloud Application Name What component of the application is made public? Why it has to be public? What data will be exposed via the internet facing system?
The reason why all internet-facing are marked as violation is, the number of cases where we need to have internet-facing load balancers is small and these legitimate cases will be reviewed and granted exception. Developer often associate internet-facing load balancers for internal applications and end up exposing sensitive data.
To remediate this issue:
- Request for an exception legitimate internet-facing ELB.
A Redshift snapshot may contain sensitive or customer information. No RDS snapshot should be made public from our accounts. There are very rare cases where this might be required. Those cases have to go through exception process.
To remediate this issue:
- Make the snapshot private
It is a best practice to allow only required ip ranges and specific port in the security groups. There are cases where security group should allow access to everyone, for those cases request for an exception.
To remediate this issue:
- Edit the security groups and allow only specific IP ranges and ports
To remediate this issue:
AWS Volume resource should not be untagged or unused to avoid the cost.

Checks the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances that were running at any time during the last 14 days and alerts you if the daily CPU utilization was 10% or less and network I/O was 5 MB or less on 4 or more days. Running instances generate hourly usage charges. Although some scenarios can result in low utilization by design, you can often lower your costs by managing the number and size of your instances. An instance had 10% or less daily average CPU utilization and 5 MB or less network I/O on at least 4 of the previous 14 days
To remediate this issue:
- Consider stopping or terminating instances that have low utilization, or scale the number of instances by using Auto Scaling.
If an EC2 Instance having S5, S4 and S3 vulnerability report it as an issue with severity high, medium and low respectively
To remediate this issue:
An EC2 instance with remotely exploitable vulnerability (S5) should not be open to internet, this instance can be easily compromised from a remote location
To remediate this issue:

All assets in Cloud should be scanned by Qualys vulnerability assessment tool atleast once a month. It would be ideal to have the Qulays Cloud Agent installed on all the assets. This would eliminate the need to have manual external scans
To remediate this issue:
- Install Qualys Cloud Agent on the server or get the asset scanned manually by VMAS team every month
All assets in Cloud should be scanned by Qualys vulnerability assessment tool atleast once a month. It would be ideal to have the Qulays Cloud Agent installed on all the assets. This would eliminate the need to have manual external scansSecurity Center uses the Microsoft Monitoring Agent (MMA) to collect security events from your Azure virtual machines. To make sure your virtual machines are successfully monitored, you need to enable data collection in Security Center and make sure the MMA agent is both installed on the virtual machines and properly collects security events to the configured workspace. Enabling data collection in Security Center enables you to benefit from multiple agent-based features, including OS baselines rules assessments, monitoring for missing system updates, endpoint protection issues and advanced threat detection capabilities.
To remediate this issue:
- Installation of the monitoring agent and enabling data collection in Security Center can be done in several ways: Using Security Center’s automatic provisioning on your subscription(s). This will automatically provision the monitoring agent on current and future-created virtual machines on your subscription(s). You can enable automatic provisioning on multiple subscriptions by clicking on the Getting started menu item, and select 'Install agents'. You can also enable it for specific subscriptions and customize additional settings by clicking on the 'Security policy' menu item, select 'Edit settings' on a subscription and enable auto provisioning in the 'data collection' menu item. Install the Microsoft Monitoring agent on your Virtual machines as a VM extension or directly, by following these instructions. Provision the Microsoft Monitoring agent with Azure Policies.
Just-in-time (JIT) virtual machine (VM) access can be used to lock down inbound traffic to your Azure VMs, reducing exposure to attacks while providing easy access to connect to VMs when needed.

The vulnerability assessment in Azure Security Center is part of the Security Center virtual machine (VM) recommendations. If Security Center doesnt find a vulnerability assessment solution installed on your VM, it recommends that you install one. A partner agent, after being deployed, starts reporting vulnerability data to the partner’s management platform. In turn, the partners management platform provides vulnerability and health monitoring data back to Security Center. You can quickly identify vulnerable VMs on the Security Center dashboard. Switch to the partner management console directly from Security Center for additional reports and information.
