Pre-Defined Rules

Multicloud Defense Controller has some basic pre-defined rules:

  • Application load balancers with no cloud service provider WAF enabled.

  • Security groups with few instances (< 5) that have ingress open. Lots of low utilization security groups can create gaps that are hard to see and may make it easy to exploit.

  • Instances with two or more network interfaces.

  • Security groups with open outbound (0.0.0.0/0) access.

  • Public subnets - all AWS subnets with Auto-Assign Public IP enabled.

  • Security groups with with too many egress ports (25 or more) open to the internet.

  • Security ports with too many ingress ports (5 or more) open to the internet.

  • Security groups with 65,535 ports open for ingress with public access enabled.

  • Certificates expiring in 30 days - AWS Certificate Manager only.

The cloud resources that match the rules, will be flagged as findings with a matching severity.
