New Features

Feature	Description
Managed Security Service Provider Secure the Infrastructure 24.8.2	Prisma Cloud Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) offering allows you to administer large customer groups efficiently by enabling you to: Manage and operate a large number of tenants from a single console. Dynamically create and delete tenants on demand. Efficiently segment and manage customers into industry defined groups such as Healthcare, Finance, and so on. Segment tenants by reallocating credits as needed, between tenants under management. Isolate customer data in adherence with established security best practices. Get centralized visibility into security telemetry such as incidents, attack paths, and misconfigurations.
Code to Cloud Tracing for Vulnerabilities Secure the Infrastructure 24.8.2	Prisma Cloud now supports tracing of vulnerabilities from container images deployed in Runtime back to the specific root cause in Build (package manager file in a repository or a package being directly added). With Code to Cloud tracing you can identify all the vulnerabilities found on a runtime container image, match which registry image was used in the deployment, discover what pipeline was used to build it and from where, identify which Dockerfile contains the instructions to build the image, the Package Manager file and packages pulled into it and it’s Base Image. Prisma Cloud scans all the source components to find which ones have the same vulnerability found in runtime and builds the trace.
Update Vulnerabilities Dashboard Secure the Infrastructure 24.8.2	The Vulnerabilities Dashboard includes a number of enhancements: The number of Internet Exposed assets are now displayed in the Vulnerabilities Funnel. Hover over the CVEs listed under Most Important Vulnerabilities to view more details about the CVE. Previously, the Vulnerabiities Dashboard displayed vulnerabilities across all the cloud accounts. Now, you can filter vulnerabilities by Account Group or Cloud Account. As you select the values in the filter, the information displayed on the Dashboard automatically refreshes. Note that currently the Vulnerabilities Burndown widget does not support the new filters, so the information displayed under Vulnerabilities Burndown will not match your filter criteria. You can edit a widget to filter by Cluster Name and Cluster Namespace and save that filter at the wdiget level. The Cluster Namespace option is presented only after you select enter a Cluster Name. A new Vulnerable Assets widget provides a view of all your vulnerable assets across your application lifecycle by type. You can see how many packets, IaC files, registry images, host VM images, serverless functions, deployed image, and hosts have vulnerabilities across the different lifecycle. Hover over the tiles to get more details of where those hosts are, the provider, how many cloud accounts are associated, and how many vulnerabilities are associated with those assets. Click on an asset to navigate directly to Search page. Along with the Account Group and Cloud Account filters, the Search page now supports the Cluster Name and Cluster Namespace filters. Make sure you first select a Cluster Name after which you can select a Cluster Namespace. By default, the View By is set to CVE that displays all the CVEs that affect your assets. You can switch to Asset, which provides you a view of all the assets relevant to your search criteria instead of the CVEs.
Support for Custom Build Bicep Policies Secure the Source 24.8.2	You can now create custom build Bicep policies through both the Code and Visual editors, offering you the flexibility to align with organizational requirements and preferences.
Data Security Posture Management and Artificial Intelligence Security Posture Management Secure the Data 24.8.1	Prisma Cloud Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) and Artificial Intelligence Security Posture Management (AI-SPM) are now generally available. DSPM enables you to discover, classify, protect, and govern data across your cloud environments. AI-SPM provides complete visibility in to your AI pipelines. It prioritizes misconfigurations and strengthens the overall integrity of your AI framework and minimizes the risk of data exposure and compliance breaches. You can subscribe to DSPM from the Prisma Cloud console. Select your user Profile icon > View Subscriptions and click Subscribe under Data Security Posture Management.
DSPM Permissions and Default Permission Group Secure the Data 24.8.1	Prisma Cloud includes a new Data Security Posture Management permission that allows you to grant access to all the DSPM capabilities for Custom Permission Groups. For ease of use, Prisma Cloud also has a new Data Security Posture Management Default Permission Group, which includes this new permission.
AI Assisted Queries Secure the Infrastructure 24.8.1	Enhancements to Prisma Cloud’s query launcher allow you to use AI assisted queries to retrieve saved searches from your current tenant. Going beyond keyword matching, AI powered semantic searches provide ease of use when launching investigations in Prisma Cloud. For instance, typing “public facing” as a query, returns results with “reachable from untrusted internet sources” as well, because the saved search matches the meaning of the query "public facing". AI assisted search can be toggled on and off as needed. Use the feedback buttons as shown in the image below to provide your feedback on this feature. There will be a phased rollout of this feature across all stacks.
RQL for AWS Access Key Discovery Secure the Infrastructure 24.8.1	Prisma Cloud’s RQL enhancements help you discover detailed information about Access Keys held by users, their activity, rotation, and usage. Available for AWS, the following RQL query helps you enforce zero trust best practices in your cloud environment: Queries the number of days passed since the last usage of an access key source.cloud.accesskey.lastused.days (>, <, = ) Queries the number of active access keys held by a user source.cloud.accesskey.activekeys (<, >, =) (0, 1, 2)
Update Cloud Network Analyzer Secure the Infrastructure 24.8.1	Prisma Cloud AWS EC2 instance with unrestricted outbound access to internet CNA policy now ignores resources created by Prisma Cloud agentless scanning as those are very well restricted and short lived workloads that can only communicate back with Prisma Cloud.
New AI and Machine Learning Category in Custom Build Policies Secure the Source 24.8.1	When creating or editing custom Build policies under Application Security > Governance, you will now find a new category— AI and Machine Learning. This category is available in the YAML policy templates within the Code Editor and under the Category Type option in the Visual Editor. The AI and Machine Learning category offers granular control over Build configurations for machine learning and artificial intelligence workloads. You can use it into your custom policies and relevant dashboards through the IaC Category filter, which streamlines policy management for AI resources. For more details, see Custom Build Policies.
New Resource Classes Filter Secure the Source 24.8.1	A new filter, Resource Classes, is now available under Application Security > Inventory > IaC Resources. This filter becomes active after you select a Framework from the inventory table. Resource Classes provide a structured method for categorizing infrastructure resources based on their type, function, or other relevant criteria. This helps streamline the filtering and management of assets within the IaC inventory. Supported options for Resource Classes include— Compute, Storage, Network, Identity & Security, Database, AI and Machine Learning, Analytics, Code, and Others. For more details, see Resource Class.
Blocklist Resource Control Secure the Source 24.8.1	You can now define granular resource controls to allow or block any use of specific resource types defined in Terraform, enabling you to create blocklists that specify which resources are restricted within your environment, enhancing security and compliance by preventing unauthorized resource usage. For more details, see example blocklist.

Changes in Existing Behavior

Feature	Description
Multiselect Disabled for Alert Rule Name Filter 24.8.2	You cannot select multiple alert rules in the Alert Rule Name filter on the Alerts > Overview page. The multiselect option is disabled to eliminate inconsistent results when filtering more than one alert rule. When using the POST/alerts/policy API, make sure to include only one Alert Rule Name in the filters attribute of the request body schema.
Role-Based Access Control for Compliance and Alert Reports 24.8.1	User-generated reports are only visible to System Administrators and to users with the same role. Implementing Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) enhances data security by streamlining report access for users with the same role, while also preventing unauthorized access.
Create or Update Policy Permissions 24.8.1	The Create/Update Policy Permissions are divided into the two granular permissions as follows: Policy Manage Policy Compliance Mapping Impact— Users managing new custom permission groups must select both permissions explicitly if they want to assign compliance mappings during policy create/update operation. Manage policy compliance mapping is added by default to all existing permission groups with policy create/update permissions.

New Policies

Policies	Description
AWS API Gateway REST API execution logging disabled 24.8.2	This policy identifies AWS API Gateway REST API’s that have disabled execution logging in their stages. AWS API Gateway REST API is a service for creating and managing RESTful APIs integrated with backend services like Lambda and HTTP endpoints. Execution logs all the API activity logs to CloudWatch, which helps in incident response, security and compliance, troubleshooting, and monitoring. It is recommended to enable logging on the API Gateway REST API to track API activity. Policy Severity— Informational Policy Type— Config config from cloud.resource where api.name = 'aws-apigateway-get-stages' AND json.rule = methodSettings.[].loggingLevel does not exist OR methodSettings.[].loggingLevel equal ignore case off as X; config from cloud.resource where api.name = 'aws-apigateway-get-rest-apis' as Y; filter ' $.X.restApi equal ignore case $.Y.id '; show Y;
AWS S3 access point Block public access setting disabled 24.8.2	This policy identifies AWS S3 access points with the block public access setting disabled. AWS S3 Access Point simplifies managing data access by creating unique access control policies for specific applications or users within a S3 bucket. The Amazon S3 Block Public Access feature manages access at the account, bucket, and access point levels. Each level’s settings can be configured independently but cannot override more restrictive settings at higher levels. Instead, access point settings complement those at the account and bucket levels. It is recommended to enable the Block public access setting on a S3 access point unless intended for public exposure. Policy Severity— Medium Policy Type— Config config from cloud.resource where cloud.type = 'aws' AND api.name = 'aws-s3-access-point' AND json.rule = networkOrigin equal ignore case internet and (publicAccessBlockConfiguration does not exist or (publicAccessBlockConfiguration.blockPublicAcls is false and publicAccessBlockConfiguration.ignorePublicAcls is false and publicAccessBlockConfiguration.blockPublicPolicy is false and publicAccessBlockConfiguration.restrictPublicBuckets is false))
AWS Secrets Manager secret configured with automatic rotation not rotated as scheduled 24.8.2	This policy identifies the AWS Secrets Manager secret not rotated successfully based on the rotation schedule. Secrets Manager stores secrets centrally, encrypts them automatically, controls access, and rotates secrets safely. By rotating secrets, you replace long-term secrets with short-term ones, limiting the risk of unauthorized use. If secrets fail to rotate in Secrets Manager, long-term secrets remain in use, increasing the risk of unauthorized access and potential data breaches. It is recommended that proper configuration and monitoring of the rotation process be ensured to mitigate these risks. Policy Severity— Informational Policy Type— Config config from cloud.resource where cloud.type = 'aws' AND api.name = 'aws-secretsmanager-describe-secret' AND json.rule = 'lastRotatedDate exists and rotationEnabled is true and _DateTime.daysBetween($.lastRotatedDate,today()) > $.rotationRules.automaticallyAfterDays'
AWS S3 bucket with cross-account access 24.8.2	This policy identifies the AWS S3 bucket policy allows one or more of the actions (s3:DeleteBucketPolicy, s3:PutBucketAcl, s3:PutBucketPolicy, s3:PutEncryptionConfiguration, s3:PutObjectAcl) for a principal in another AWS account. An S3 bucket policy that defines permissions and conditions for accessing an Amazon S3 bucket and its objects. Granting permissions like s3:DeleteBucketPolicy, s3:PutBucketAcl, s3:PutBucketPolicy, s3:PutEncryptionConfiguration, and s3:PutObjectAcl to other AWS accounts can lead to unauthorized access and potential data breaches. It is recommended to review and remove permissions from the S3 bucket policy by deleting statements that grant access to restricted actions for other AWS accounts. Policy Severity— Medium Policy Type— Config config from cloud.resource where cloud.type = 'aws' AND api.name = 'aws-s3api-get-bucket-acl' AND json.rule = policy.Statement[?any(Effect equals Allow and (Principal.AWS does not equal * and Principal does not equal * and Principal.AWS contains arn and Principal.AWS does not contain $.accountId) and (Action contains "s3:Put*" or Action contains "s3:Delete*" or Action equals "*" or Action contains "s3:*" or Action is member of ('s3:DeleteBucketPolicy','s3:PutBucketAcl','s3:PutBucketPolicy','s3:PutEncryptionConfiguration','s3:PutObjectAcl') ))] exists
AWS Lambda Function with administrative permissions 24.8.2	This policy identifies Lambda Functions granted administrative permissions, increasing the blast radius in case of a potential compromise of the function. Policy Severity— Medium Policy Type— IAM Policy Subtype— Permissions config from iam where dest.cloud.type = 'AWS' AND action.access.isAdministrative = true AND source.cloud.service.name = 'lambda'
Azure Function App with administrative permissions 24.8.2	This policy identifies Function App instances granted administrative permissions, increasing the blast radius in case of a potential compromise of the function. Policy Severity— Medium Policy Type— IAM Policy Subtype— Permissions config from iam where dest.cloud.type = 'AZURE' AND action.access.isAdministrative = true and source.cloud.service.name = 'microsoft.web'
Azure Database for MySQL flexible server public network access setting is enabled 24.8.2	This policy identifies Azure Database for MySQL flexible servers which have public network access setting enabled. Publicly accessible MySQL servers are vulnerable to external threats with risk of unauthorized access or may remotely exploit any vulnerabilities. As a best security practice, it is recommended to configure the MySQL servers with IP-based strict server-level firewall rules or virtual-network rules or private endpoints so that servers are accessible only to restricted entities. Policy Severity— Medium Policy Type— Config config from cloud.resource where cloud.type = 'azure' AND api.name = 'azure-mysql-flexible-server' AND json.rule = properties.state equal ignore case Ready and firewallRules[*] is empty and properties.network.publicNetworkAccess equal ignore case Enabled
Azure Database for MySQL flexible server firewall rule allow access to all IPv4 address 24.8.2	This policy identifies Azure Database for MySQL flexible servers which have firewall rule allowing access to all IPV4 address. MySQL server having a firewall rule with start IP being 0.0.0.0 and end IP being 255.255.255.255 (i.e. all IPv4 addresses) would allow access to server from any host on the internet. Allowing access to all IPv4 addresses expands the potential attack surface and exposes the MySQL server to increased threats.Allowing access to all IPv4 addresses expands the potential attack surface and exposes the MySQL server to increased threats. As a best security practice, it is recommended to configure the MySQL servers with restricted IP-based server-level firewall rules so that servers are accessible only to restricted entities. Policy Severity— Medium Policy Type— Config config from cloud.resource where cloud.type = 'azure' AND api.name = 'azure-mysql-flexible-server' AND json.rule = properties.state equal ignore case Ready and properties.network.publicNetworkAccess equal ignore case Enabled and firewallRules[?any(properties.startIpAddress equals 0.0.0.0 and properties.endIpAddress equals 255.255.255.255)] exists
Azure Event Hub Namespace having authorization rules except RootManageSharedAccessKey 24.8.2	This policy identifies Azure Event Hub Namespaces which have authorization rules except RootManageSharedAccessKey. Having Azure Event Hub namespace authorization rules other than 'RootManageSharedAccessKey' could provide access to all queues and topics under the namespace which pose a risk if these additional rules are not properly managed or secured. As best practice, it is recommended to remove Event Hub namespace authorization rules other than RootManageSharedAccessKey and create access policies at the entity level, which provide access to only that specific entity for queues and topics. Policy Severity— Informational Policy Type— Config config from cloud.resource where cloud.type = 'azure' AND api.name = 'azure-event-hub-namespace' AND json.rule = authorizationRules[*].name exists and authorizationRules[?any(name does not equal RootManageSharedAccessKey)] exists
Azure Event Hub Instance not defined with authorization rule 24.8.2	This policy identifies Azure Event Hub Instances that are not defined with authorization rules. If the Azure Event Hub Instance authorization rule is not defined, there is a heightened risk of unauthorized access to the event hub data and resources. This could potentially lead to unauthorized data retrieval, tampering, or disruption of the event hub operations. Defining proper authorization rules helps mitigate these risks by controlling and restricting access to the event hub resources. As a best practice, it is recommended to define the least privilege security model access policies at Event Hub Instance. Policy Severity— Informational Policy Type— Config config from cloud.resource where api.name = 'azure-event-hub-namespace' AND json.rule = properties.disableLocalAuth is false as X; config from cloud.resource where api.name = 'azure-event-hub' AND json.rule = properties.status equal ignore case ACTIVE and authorizationRules[*] is empty as Y; filter '$.Y.id contains $.X.name'; show Y;
Azure user not restricted to create Microsoft Entra Security Group 24.8.2	This policy identifies instances in the Microsoft Entra ID configuration where security group creation is not restricted to administrators only. When the ability to create security groups is enabled, all users in the directory can create new groups and add members to them. Unless there is a specific business need for this broad access, it is best to limit the creation of security groups to administrators only. As a best practice, it is recommended to restrict the ability to create Microsoft Entra Security Groups to administrators only. Policy Severity— Low Policy Type— Config config from cloud.resource where cloud.type = 'azure' and api.name = 'azure-active-directory-authorization-policy' AND json.rule = defaultUserRolePermissions.allowedToCreateSecurityGroups is true
Azure Guest User Invite not restricted to users with specific admin role 24.8.2	This policy identifies instances in the Microsoft Entra ID configuration where guest user invitations are not restricted to specific administrative roles. Allowing anyone in the organization, including guests and non-admins, to invite guest users can lead to unauthorized access and potential data breaches. This unrestricted access poses a significant security risk. As a best practice, it is recommended to configure guest user invites to specific admin roles. This will ensure that only authorized personnel can invite guests, maintaining tighter control over access to cloud resources. Policy Severity— Medium Policy Type— Config config from cloud.resource where cloud.type = 'azure' and api.name = 'azure-active-directory-authorization-policy' AND json.rule = not (allowInvitesFrom equal ignore case adminsAndGuestInviters OR allowInvitesFrom equal ignore case none)
Azure Machine learning compute instance configured with public IP 24.8.2	This policy identifies Azure Machine Learning compute instances which are configured with public IP. Configuring an Azure Machine Learning compute instance with a public IP exposes it to significant security risks, including unauthorized access and cyber-attacks. This setup increases the likelihood of data breaches, where sensitive information and intellectual property could be accessed by unauthorized individuals, leading to potential data leakage and loss. As a best practice, it is recommended not to configure Azure Machine Learning instances with public IP. Policy Severity— Medium Policy Type— Config config from cloud.resource where cloud.type = 'azure' AND api.name = 'azure-machine-learning-compute' AND json.rule = properties.provisioningState equal ignore case Succeeded AND properties.properties.connectivityEndpoints.publicIpAddress exists AND properties.properties.connectivityEndpoints.publicIpAddress does not equal ignore case "null"

Policy Severity— Low Policy Type— IAM Policy Subtype— Permissions config from iam where grantedby.cloud.entity.type IN ( 'role', 'serviceaccount', 'service principal', 'user assigned', 'system assigned' ) AND grantedby.cloud.entity.lastlogin.days > 90
Cloud Service account with Metadata Write Permissions is inactive for 90 days 24.8.2	This policy identifies cloud service accounts in Azure, AWS, and GCP that have not been used in the last 90 days and hold Metadata Write permissions. Policy Severity— Low Policy Type— IAM Policy Subtype— Permissions config from iam where grantedby.cloud.entity.type IN ( 'role', 'serviceaccount', 'service principal', 'user assigned', 'system assigned' ) AND grantedby.cloud.entity.lastlogin.days > 90 AND action.access.level = 'Metadata Write'
Cloud Service account with Metadata Read Permissions is inactive for 90 days 24.8.2	This policy identifies cloud service accounts in Azure, AWS and GCP that have not been used in the last 90 days and hold Metadata Read permissions. Policy Severity— Low Policy Type— IAM Policy Subtype— Permissions config from iam where grantedby.cloud.entity.type IN ( 'role', 'serviceaccount', 'service principal', 'user assigned', 'system assigned' ) AND grantedby.cloud.entity.lastlogin.days > 90 AND action.access.level = 'Metadata Read'
Cloud Service account with Data Write Permissions is inactive for 90 days 24.8.2	This policy identifies cloud service accounts in Azure, AWS and GCP that have not been used in the last 90 days and hold Data Write permissions. Policy Severity— Low Policy Type— IAM Policy Subtype— Permissions config from iam where grantedby.cloud.entity.type IN ( 'role', 'serviceaccount', 'service principal', 'user assigned', 'system assigned' ) AND grantedby.cloud.entity.lastlogin.days > 90 AND action.access.level = 'Data Write'
Cloud Service account with Data Read Permissions is inactive for 90 days 24.8.2	This policy identifies cloud service accounts in Azure, AWS and GCP that have not been used in the last 90 days and hold Data Read permissions. Policy Severity— Low Policy Type— IAM Policy Subtype— Permissions config from iam where grantedby.cloud.entity.type IN ( 'role', 'serviceaccount', 'service principal', 'user assigned', 'system assigned' ) AND grantedby.cloud.entity.lastlogin.days > 90 AND action.access.level = 'Data Read'
AWS FSx for OpenZFS file systems not configured to copy tags to backups or volumes 24.8.1	This policy identifies the AWS FSx for OpenZFS file system is configured to copy tags to backups or volumes. AWS FSx for OpenZFS is a managed service for deploying and scaling OpenZFS file systems on AWS. Tags make resource identification and management easier, ensuring consistent security policies across file systems. Without copying tags to backups and volumes in AWS FSx for OpenZFS, enforcing consistent access control and tracking sensitive data in these resources becomes challenging. It is recommended to configure an FSx for the OpenZFS file system to copy tags to backups and volumes. Policy Severity— Informational Policy Type— Config config from cloud.resource where cloud.type = 'aws' AND api.name = 'aws-fsx-file-system' AND json.rule = FileSystemType equals "OPENZFS" and Lifecycle equals "AVAILABLE" and (OpenZFSConfiguration.CopyTagsToBackups is false or OpenZFSConfiguration.CopyTagsToVolumes is false )
AWS Private CA root certificate authority is enabled 24.8.1	This policy identifies enabled AWS Private CA root certificate authorities. AWS Private CA enables creating a root CA to issue private certificates for securing internal resources like servers, applications, users, devices, and containers. The root CA should be disabled for daily tasks to minimize risk, as it should only issue certificates for intermediate CAs, allowing it to remain secure while intermediate CAs handle the issuance of end-entity certificates. It is recommended to disable the AWS Private CA root certificate authority to secure. Policy Severity— Informational Policy Type— Config config from cloud.resource where cloud.type = 'aws' and api.name = 'aws-acm-pca-certificate-authority' AND json.rule = Type equal ignore case ROOT and Status equal ignore case active
AWS EC2 instance is assigned with public IP 24.8.1	This policy identifies the AWS EC2 instance having a public IP address assigned. AWS EC2 instances with public IPs are virtual servers hosted in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud that can be accessed over the internet. Public IPs increase an EC2 instance’s attack surface, necessitating robust security configurations to prevent unauthorized access and attacks. It is recommended to use private IPv4 addresses for communication between EC2 instances and disassociate the public IP address from an instance or disable auto-assign public IP addresses in the subnet. Policy Severity— Informational Policy Type— Config config from cloud.resource where cloud.type = 'aws' AND api.name = 'aws-ec2-describe-instances' AND json.rule = networkInterfaces[*].association.publicIp exists
AWS Secrets Manager secret not configured to rotate within 90 days 24.8.1	This policy identifies the AWS Secrets Manager secret is not configured to automatically rotate the secret within 90 days. Rotating secrets minimizes the risk of compromised credentials and reduces exposure to potential threats. Failing to rotate secrets increases the risk of security breaches and prolonged exposure to threats. It is recommended to configure automatic rotation in AWS Secrets Manager to replace long-term secrets with short-term ones, reducing the risk of compromise. Policy Severity— Low Policy Type— Config config from cloud.resource where cloud.type = 'aws' AND api.name = 'aws-secretsmanager-describe-secret' AND json.rule = rotationEnabled is true and owningService is not member of (appflow, databrew, datasync, directconnect, events, opsworks-cm, rds, sqlworkbench) and rotationRules.automaticallyAfterDays exists and rotationRules.automaticallyAfterDays greater than 90
AWS RDS instance with network path from the untrust internet source 24.8.1	This policy identifies AWS RDS instances with network path from untrusted internet source. AWS RDS is AWS managed service for running relational databases in the cloud. Allowing an AWS RDS instance to be reachable from any untrusted internet source increases the risk of unauthorized access and potential security breaches due to expanded attack surface. It is recommended to restrict traffic from untrusted IP addresses and limit the access to known hosts, services, or specific entities for the RDS Database instances. Prisma Cloud Trusted IP List allows administrators to specify a list of IP addresses that are considered trusted or safe. Policy Severity— High Policy Type— Network Config config from network where source.network = UNTRUST_INTERNET and dest.resource.type = 'PaaS' and dest.cloud.type = 'AWS' and dest.paas.service.type = 'AWS RDS'
AWS Redshift cluster with network path from the untrust internet source 24.8.1	This policy identifies the AWS Redshift clusters with network path from the untrusted internet source. Redshift clusters are AWS cloud-based data warehouses designed for data analysis and querying of large datasets. Allowing an AWS Redshift cluster to be reachable from any untrusted internet source increases the risk of unauthorized access and potential security breaches due to expanded attack surface. It is recommended to restrict traffic from untrusted IP addresses and limit the access to known hosts, services, or specific entities for the Redshift clusters. Prisma Cloud Trusted IP List allows administrators to specify a list of IP addresses that are considered trusted or safe. Policy Severity— High Policy Type— Network Config config from network where source.network = UNTRUST_INTERNET and dest.resource.type = 'PaaS' and dest.cloud.type = 'AWS' and dest.paas.service.type = 'AWS Redshift'
Azure Microsoft Entra ID users can consent to apps accessing company data on their behalf not set to verified publishers 24.8.1	This policy identifies instances in the Microsoft Entra ID configuration where users in your Azure Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) can consent to applications accessing company data on their behalf, even if the applications are not from verified publishers. Allowing unverified applications to access company data increases the likelihood of data breaches and unauthorized access, which could lead to the exposure of confidential information. Using unverified applications can lead to non-compliance with data protection regulations and undermine trust in the organization’s data handling practices. As a best practice, it is recommended to configure the user consent settings to restrict access only to applications from verified publishers. Policy Severity— Low Policy Type— Config config from cloud.resource where cloud.type = 'azure' AND api.name = 'azure-active-directory-authorization-policy' AND json.rule = defaultUserRolePermissions.permissionGrantPoliciesAssigned[*] does not contain "ManagePermissionGrantsForSelf.microsoft-user-default-low"
Azure Machine Learning compute instance not running latest OS Image Version 24.8.1	This policy identifies Azure Machine Learning compute instances not running on the latest available image version. Running compute instances on outdated image versions increases security risks. Without the latest security patches and updates, these instances are more vulnerable to attacks, which can compromise machine learning models and data. As a best practice, it is recommended to recreate or update Azure Machine Learning compute instances to the latest image version, ensuring they have the most recent security patches and updates. Policy Severity— Medium Policy Type— Config config from cloud.resource where cloud.type = 'azure' AND api.name = 'azure-machine-learning-compute' AND json.rule = properties.provisioningState equal ignore case "Succeeded" and properties.properties.state equal ignore case "Running" and properties.properties.osImageMetadata.isLatestOsImageVersion is false
Azure Network Watcher not enabled 24.8.1	This policy identifies Azure subscription regions where Network Watcher is not enabled. Azure Network Watcher provides tools to monitor, diagnose, view metrics, and enable or disable logs for resources in an Azure virtual network. Without Network Watcher enabled, you lose critical capabilities to monitor and diagnose network issues, making it difficult to identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, network security rules, and connectivity issues. As a best practice, it is recommended to enable Azure Network Watcher for your region to leverage its monitoring and diagnostic capabilities. Policy Severity— Informational Policy Type— Config config from cloud.resource where cloud.type = 'azure' AND api.name = 'azure-network-watcher-list' AND json.rule = provisioningState equals Succeeded as X; count(X) less than 1
Azure SQL server public network access setting is enabled 24.8.1	This policy identifies Azure SQL servers which have public network access setting enabled. Publicly accessible SQL servers are vulnerable to external threats with risk of unauthorized access or may remotely exploit any vulnerabilities. It is recommended to configure the SQL servers with IP-based strict server-level firewall rules or virtual-network rules or private endpoints so that servers are accessible only to restricted entities. Policy Severity— Medium Policy Type— Config config from cloud.resource where cloud.type = 'azure' AND api.name = 'azure-sql-server-list' AND json.rule = ['sqlServer'].['properties.state'] equal ignore case Ready and ['sqlServer'].['properties.publicNetworkAccess'] equal ignore case Enabled and ['sqlServer'].['properties.privateEndpointConnections'] is empty and firewallRules[*] is empty
Azure PostgreSQL flexible server secure transport parameter is disabled 24.8.1	This policy identifies PostgreSQL flexible servers for which secure transport (SSL connectivity) parameter is disabled. Secure transport (SSL connectivity) helps to provide a new layer of security, by connecting server to client applications using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Enforcing SSL connections between server and client applications helps protect against ‘man in the middle’ attacks by encrypting the data stream between the server and application. As a security best practice, it is recommended to enable secure transport parameter for Azure PostgreSQL flexible server. Policy Severity— Medium Policy Type— Config config from cloud.resource where cloud.type = 'azure' AND api.name = 'azure-postgresql-flexible-server' AND json.rule = properties.state equal ignore case Ready and require_secure_transport.value does not equal ignore case on
Azure SQL server using insecure TLS version 24.8.1	This policy identifies Azure SQL servers which use insecure TLS version. Enforcing TLS connections between database server and client applications helps protect against 'man in the middle' attacks by encrypting the data stream between the server and application. As a security best practice, it is recommended to use the latest TLS version for Azure SQL server. Policy Severity— Medium Policy Type— Config config from cloud.resource where cloud.type = 'azure' AND api.name = 'azure-sql-server-list' AND json.rule = ['sqlServer'].['properties.state'] equal ignore case "Ready" and (['sqlServer'].['properties.minimalTlsVersion'] equal ignore case "None" or ['sqlServer'].['properties.minimalTlsVersion'] equals "1.0" or ['sqlServer'].['properties.minimalTlsVersion'] equals "1.1")
GCP Cloud Function not enabled with VPC connector for network egress 24.8.1	This policy identifies GCP Cloud Functions that are not enabled with a VPC connector for network egress. This includes both Cloud Functions v1 and Cloud Functions v2. Using a VPC connector for network egress in GCP Cloud Functions is crucial to prevent security risks such as data interception and unauthorized access. This practice strengthens security by allowing safe communication with private resources, enhancing traffic monitoring, reducing the risk of data leaks, and ensuring compliance with security policies. It is recommended to configure GCP Cloud Functions with a VPC connector. Policy Severity— Informational Policy Type— Config config from cloud.resource where cloud.type = 'gcp' AND api.name = 'gcloud-cloud-function-v2' AND json.rule = state equals ACTIVE and serviceConfig.vpcConnector does not exist
GCP Cloud Function with overly permissive network ingress settings 24.8.1	This policy identifies GCP Cloud Functions that have overly permissive network ingress settings. This includes both Cloud Functions v1 and Cloud Functions v2. Ingress settings control whether resources outside of your Google Cloud project or VPC Service Controls perimeter can invoke a function. With overly permissive ingress setting, all inbound requests to invoke function are allowed, both from the public and from resources within the same project. Restrictive network ingress settings for cloud functions in GCP minimize the risk of unauthorized access and attacks by limiting inbound traffic to trusted sources. This approach enhances security, prevents malicious activities, and ensures only legitimate traffic reaches your applications. It is recommended to restrict the public traffic and allow traffic from VPC networks in the same project or traffic through the Cloud Load Balancer. Policy Severity— Low Policy Type— Config config from cloud.resource where cloud.type = 'gcp' AND api.name = 'gcloud-cloud-function-v2' AND json.rule = state equals ACTIVE and serviceConfig.ingressSettings equals ALLOW_ALL
GCP Cloud Function v1 is using unsecured HTTP trigger 24.8.1	This policy identifies GCP Cloud Functions v1 that are using unsecured HTTP trigger. Using HTTP triggers for cloud functions poses significant security risks, including vulnerability to interception, tampering, and various attacks like man-in-the-middle. Conversely, HTTPS triggers provide encrypted communication, safeguarding sensitive data and ensuring confidentiality. HTTPS also supports authentication mechanisms, enhancing overall security and trust. It is recommended to enable 'Require HTTPS' for HTTP triggers for all cloud functions v1. Policy Severity— Medium Policy Type— Config config from cloud.resource where cloud.type = 'gcp' AND api.name = 'gcloud-cloud-function-v2' AND json.rule = environment equals GEN_1 and serviceConfig.securityLevel does not equal SECURE_ALWAYS
GCP Cloud Function is publicly accessible by allUsers or allAuthenticatedUsers 24.8.1	This policy identifies GCP Cloud Functions that are publicly accessible by allUsers or allAuthenticatedUsers. Granting permissions to 'allusers' or 'allAuthenticatedUsers' on any resource in GCP makes the resource public. Public access over cloud functions can lead to unauthorized invocations of the function or leakage of sensitive information such as the function’s source code. Following the least privileged access policy, it is recommended to grant access restrictively and avoid granting permissions to allUsers or allAuthenticatedUsers unless absolutely needed. Policy Severity— Medium Policy Type— Config config from cloud.resource where cloud.type = 'gcp' AND api.name = 'gcloud-cloud-function-v2' AND json.rule = state equals ACTIVE and iamPolicy.bindings[?any(members[*] is member of ("allAuthenticatedUsers","allUsers"))] exists
GCP Cloud Function is granted a basic role 24.8.1	This policy identifies GCP Cloud Functions that are granted a basic role. This includes both Cloud Functions v1 and Cloud Functions v2. Basic roles are highly permissive roles that existed before the introduction of IAM and grant wide access over project to the grantee. The use of basic roles for granting permissions increases the blast radius and could help to escalate privilege further in case the Cloud Function is compromised. Following the principle of least privilege, it is recommended to avoid the use of basic roles. Policy Severity— Medium Policy Type— Config config from cloud.resource where api.name = 'gcloud-projects-get-iam-user' AND json.rule = roles[*] contains "roles/viewer" or roles[*] contains "roles/editor" or roles[*] contains "roles/owner" as X; config from cloud.resource where api.name = 'gcloud-cloud-function-v2' as Y; filter '$.Y.serviceConfig.serviceAccountEmail equals $.X.user'; show Y;
OCI Object Storage Bucket write level logging is disabled 24.8.1	This policy identifies Object Storage buckets that have write-level logging disabled. Enabling write-level logging for Object Storage provides more visibility into changes to objects in your buckets. Without write-level logging, there is no record of changes made to the bucket. This lack of visibility can lead to undetected data breaches, unauthorized changes, and compliance violations. As a best practice, it is recommended to enable write-level logging on Object Storage buckets. Policy Severity— Low Policy Type— Config config from cloud.resource where api.name = 'oci-object-storage-bucket' as X; config from cloud.resource where api.name = 'oci-logging-logs' as Y; filter 'not ($.X.name contains $.Y.configuration.source.resource and $.Y.configuration.source.service contains objectstorage and $.Y.configuration.source.category contains write and $.Y.lifecycleState equal ignore case ACTIVE )'; show X;
User with Administrative Permissions Has Active Access Keys Which Are Unused Over 90 Days 24.8.1	Identifies user accounts with administrative permissions for which active access keys exist and have not been used in at least 90 days. Access keys are long-term credentials which allow AWS IAM users programmatic access to resources. When the user in question possesses administrative permissions, and their access keys are active but not in use, they can potentially be found by an adversary, granting them administrative permissions. Policy Severity— Medium Policy Type— IAM Policy Subtype— Permissions config from iam where dest.cloud.type = 'AWS' AND action.access.isAdministrative = true AND source.cloud.accesskey.lastused.days > 90 AND source.cloud.accesskey.activekeys > 0
Cloud Service account with high privileges is inactive for 90 days and is assigned to a resource 24.8.1	Identifies cloud service accounts in Azure, AWS and GCP which have administrative permissions that have not been used in the last 90 days and are attached to a resource. As opposed to user accounts, service accounts are predictable. Therefore, if a service account has administrative permissions which it has not used in the past 90 days, we can confidently say the resource it is attached to does not require them, and remove the permissions, decreasing the blast radius in case of a compromise of the service account. Policy Severity— Medium Policy Type— IAM Policy Subtype— Permissions config from iam where grantedby.cloud.entity.type IN ( 'role', 'serviceaccount', 'service principal', 'user assigned', 'system assigned' ) AND action.access.isAdministrative = true AND grantedby.cloud.entity.lastlogin.days > 90 AND source.cloud.resource.type in ( 'instance', 'function', 'oidc-provider', 'environment', 'task-definition', 'WebIdentity', 'virtualMachines', 'sites', 'App Registration', 'service', 'workflows', 'virtualMachineScaleSets/virtualMachines', 'instances', 'applications', 'services', 'functions', 'serviceAccounts')
User account with high privileges and MFA disabled 24.8.1	Identifies user accounts with administrative permissions for which Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is not enabled. Sensitive accounts such as those with administrative permissions are considered high value to attackers and tend to be targeted. As such, these accounts, when not safeguarded by an additional authentication factor, have a higher chance of successful compromise, which would result in the adversary gaining administrative permissions within your ogranization. Policy Severity— High Policy Type— IAM Policy Subtype— Permissions config from iam where action.access.isAdministrative = true AND source.cloud.resource.type = 'user' AND source.mfaenabled = False
Third-Party Service Account with High Privileges at the Folder or Organization Level 24.8.1	Identifies instances of third-party vendor owned service accounts which are granted high privileges and may allow administrative access to your cloud environment. This increases the attack surface, as in case of a compromise of the vendor’s environment, an attacker would gain elevated access to your account by abusing the service account permissions. Policy Severity— Medium Policy Type— IAM Policy Subtype— Permissions config from iam where dest.cloud.type = 'GCP' AND grantedby.cloud.entity.type = 'serviceaccount' AND action.access.isAdministrative = true AND source.cloud.account.isvendor = true AND grantedby.level.type IN ( 'GCP Organization', 'GCP Folder' )
Service Account with Cross Cloud Administrative Access 24.8.1	Identifies service accounts with permissions to assume an administrative role in another account hosted in a different cloud vendor environment. Administrative permissions can result in the compromising of the security posture of your organization. As the service account resides in a separate cloud vendor’s environment, a compromise of the source account could lead to lateral movement exposing the second account and enlarging the blast radius across cloud provider environments. Policy Severity— Medium Policy Type— IAM Policy Subtype— Permissions config from iam where source.cloud.type = 'GCP' AND dest.cloud.type = 'AWS' and action.access.isadministrative = True AND grantedby.cloud.entity.type = 'role'
