Fortify Critical Workloads with Unparalleled Security
The AWS cloud security integration with Forescout is designed to safeguard critical workloads with unparalleled visibility and proactive defense mechanisms. The AWS integration connects the Forescout Platform to the Amazon® Web Services (AWS) public cloud environment to retrieve information on Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances and other AWS entities such as Identity and Access Management (IAM) users, Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs), and Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3). This integration brings the detailed visibility, control, and compliance capabilities of the Forescout to EC2 instances and the associated AWS cloud configurations.
Features and Benefits
Consolidated Visibility
The integration between AWS and Forescout provides consolidated visibility (single pane of glass) into the devices and assets within the AWS cloud environment. Elevate visibility with comprehensive asset discovery, risk assessment and prioritization, and incident response and remediation.
Compliance Assessment
By integrating AWS with Forescout for compliance assessment, organizations can ensure that their cloud environments adhere to security standards and regulatory requirements. This proactive approach to compliance helps in reducing the risk of data breaches, avoiding penalties, and maintaining a strong security posture in the cloud.
Critical Workload Security
By integrating AWS with Forescout for critical workload security, organizations can effectively protect their most important assets in the cloud. The combination of visibility, segmentation, threat detection, and automated response helps in reducing the risk of breaches, ensuring compliance, and maintaining the integrity and availability of critical workloads.
Unauthorized Access Monitoring for Identity and Access Management
This integration supports unauthorized access visibility and compliance for AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) administrators by allowing them to control user and role access through Forescout. IAM users, group, and roles and associated properties can be collected and viewed. Policy templates are provided to continuously monitor for any IAM role being created or modified, to verify that a password policy (including multi-factor authentication) is enabled for every user, and to implement an action that enables a password policy for users who do not have a password policy set.
Unauthorized Access Monitoring for Infrastructure
Forescout allows for the visibility and compliance of AWS VPCs and ELBs configured for an AWS account. IT Administrators can view and collect their associated properties. Policy templates are provided to verify that no EC2 instance has a public IP address that is an Internet-facing address, to monitor external ELB associated with a VPC, and to monitor VPC peering connections and allow peering connections between central VPCs and sub-VPCs. An action to allow for termination of an Internet gateway is also provided.
