The Cloud Security Suite (cs-suite) manages ensuring the security posture of multi-cloud environments by consolidating various open-source tools into a single, comprehensive auditing tool. This suite supports audits for AWS, GCP, Azure, and DigitalOcean, leveraging the APIs of these cloud providers to gather configuration data.
Technically, cs-suite is built on a Python 2.7 environment and utilizes virtualenv for dependency management. It integrates with existing tools like Scout2, Prowler, G-Scout, and Lynis to perform detailed audits. The tool requires specific configurations for each cloud provider, such as IAM roles for AWS, service accounts for GCP, and API keys for DigitalOcean. The architecture is designed to run audits via command-line interfaces, with options to specify the environment and other parameters.
Operationally, cs-suite generates detailed reports in a reports directory, highlighting risk areas and configuration issues. However, it has some limitations, such as the requirement for specific Python and dependency versions, which can introduce compatibility issues. Additionally, the tool's performance may degrade with large-scale deployments due to the volume of data collected and processed.
From a technical standpoint, cs-suite uses tools like jq and gcc for certain functionalities, and it relies on cloud provider CLI tools (e.g., awscli, gcloud) for authentication and data collection. The reports generated include detailed metrics and findings, but managing these reports, especially in multi-account setups, can become complex and resource-intensive.
