CompTIA CySA+ CS0-003: Scout Suite

Cloud customers doesn’t know how to properly secure their applications and services and there are more and more data breaches occurring on the cloud. This is why one should utilize scout suite and other tools to proactively identify and remediate security risks.

Scout suite is a auditing tool for cloud and it currently supports amazon web services, google cloud, Alibaba cloud, oracle cloud, and Microsoft azure. It works by gathering configuration data from exposed cloud providers APIs to manually inspect and highlight risks. Stuff like DNS API, logging API, SQL admin API, kubernetes API, and compute engine APIs are utilized to run scans. Once you run the scan, you get a organized summary that will highlight what’s good and bad line by line and you can click on these findings to get details on the violation as well.
