Here at Fugue, we think it's important to practice what we preach. To that end, we're dogfooding Fugue! That means we use our own product to evaluate the compliance and security of our own running cloud infrastructure and infrastructure as code (IaC) with the same policies. In this blog post, we'll dive into how we set up a CI/CD pipeline that uses Fugue to scan the IaC underlying Fugue.
Introduction to Regula and Scalr Integration Regula Regula enables cloud teams to evaluate Terraform, CloudFormation, Azure Resource Manager, and Kubernetes Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) for security and compliance violations prior to deployment. Regula is an open source implementation of Rego, the query language used by the Open Policy Agent (OPA) project. Where relevant, Regula’s policies have been mapped to the Center for Internet Security (CIS) Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure, Google Cloud, and Kubernetes Foundation Benchmarks to allow users to enforce these policies on IaC prior to deployment.
Regula 2.3.0 enables cloud teams to evaluate Terraform, CloudFormation, Azure Resource Manager, and Kubernetes infrastructure as code (IaC) for security and compliance violations prior to deployment. Integrating Regula into continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines takes this a step further by automating the secure deployment of cloud infrastructure.
Richard Park also contributed to this post. The Apache Log4j vulnerability known as Log4Shell (CVE-2021-44228) is a serious vulnerability that allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on any server running the popular Apache Log4j Java logging library. It has a CVSS score of 10, the highest possible value, and should be addressed immediately.
This month, Facebook and Twitch both suffered serious damage at their own hands, and every executive needs to understand what happened and how these types of incidents are preventable.
Cloud security has long been focused squarely on the cloud runtime environment to keep infrastructure free of misconfiguration vulnerabilities that can open the door to hackers and lead to data leaks and breaches. It is reasonable considering most (if not all) cloud-based security incidents result from customer mistakes in the form of cloud resource misconfiguration. Gartner calls this Cloud Security Posture Management, or CSPM.
Today we announced the 1.0 release of Regula, Fugue’s open source policy engine for infrastructure as code (IaC) security. With this release, Regula now has hundreds of pre-built policies for checking IaC deployments for Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, along with new tooling to make it easier to develop and test custom rules. Read about it at Help Net Security.
This week, Fugue announced support for AWS CloudFormation in Regula, the open-source policy engine for infrastructure as code (IaC). Regula has been gaining in popularity for performing pre-deployment security and compliance checks for Terraform, and we’re thrilled to extend Regula’s capabilities to address CloudFormation templates, including the Serverless Application Framework.
