What are the benefits of using this over Amazon Inspector?
- cj 6y agoPerhaps beneficial to companies utilizing multiple clouds wanting 1 tool and 1 process for auditing across clouds
- xga2 6y agonote - I'm the project's maintainer Correct, Scout Suite is inherently multi-cloud and has mature support for AWS/Azure/GCP. This is very useful for organizations that want to leverage a single tool to assess the posture of all their environments.
- _pdp_ 6y agoThis is equivalant of the AWS CIS Benchmark if you use Security Hub. It is also way cheaper.
- xga2 6y agonote - I'm the project's maintainer And also implements a bunch more rules ;-).
- xga2 6y agonote - I'm the project's maintainer AWS Inspector allows assessing the baseline security of EC2 instances / hosts, i.e. against CIS benchmarks (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/inspector/latest/userguide/inspector_rule-packages_across_os.html https://docs.aws.amazon.com/inspector/latest/userguide/inspe...). Scout Suite assesses the security posture of the cloud environment as a whole, across all [supported] services. It looks at things such as encryption, configuration of Identity and Access Management, resilience, backup configuration, privilege escalation vectors, etc.
