InsightCloudSec Software Release Notice - 22.11.2 Release

Our latest Release 22.11.2 is available for hosted customers on Wednesday, November 2, 2022. Availability for self-hosted customers is Thursday, November 3, 2022. If you’re interested in learning more about becoming a hosted customer, reach out through our Customer Support Portal.

Self-Hosted Customers: Schema Update Requiring UI Downtime

Release 22.11.2 requires a schema update to a frequently used database table. As a result, aquiring the necessary lock on this database table could prove difficult with users logged into the tool. In order to prevent table contention, we recommend scaling the interfaceserver tasks down to zero prior to performing the upgrade. Once the scheduler and/or worker tasks indicate that the schema update was successful, the interfaceserver tasks can be scaled back up to pre-upgrade levels. Please contact us through our Customer Support Portal if you have questions.

Important Notifications

Changes for Self-Hosted Customers If you’re currently referencing Dockerhub for your InsightCloudSec images (e.g., divvycloud/divvycloud:XX.Y.Z) or this public ECR location (public.ecr.aws/divvycloud/divvycloud), these repositories are now no longer being updated. This repository will still be available to download older versions. The new locations for InsightCloudSec images will be as follows:

public.ecr.aws/rapid7-insightcloudsec/ics/core
public.ecr.aws/rapid7-insightcloudsec/ics/edh-worker

Insight Severities In order to improve consistency within InsightCloudSec and to provide better overall alignment with Rapid7 we are planning to update our Insight severities. Our new severities will align with several features including InsightVM, Kubernetes Guardrails, and Layered Context (currently in EAP). We are planning to implement this change before the end of the quarter. Refer to the Insights section below to read more.

Release Highlights (22.11.2)

InsightCloudSec is pleased to announce Release 22.11.2. This release includes added visibility and support for two new resources: AWS Sagemaker Training Job and GCP Cloud Domains. This release introduces two new Compliance Packs: Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council controls (FFEIC) and Center for Internet Security (CIS) - Azure 1.5.0. 22.11.2 includes two new Insights, more than 30 updated Insights, 11 updated Query Filters, five new Query Filters, two updated Bot actions, and nine bug fixes.

Contact us through the unified Customer Support Portal with any questions.

New Permissions Required (22.11.2)

New Permissions Required: AWS

For AWS Commercial and GovCloud Standard (Read-Only) Users: "sagemaker:DescribeTrainingJob", "sagemaker:ListTrainingJobs"

The above permissions support the newly added resource AWS SageMaker Training Job. [ENG-20467]

Note: We recommend our AWS commercial (non-GovCloud) Standard (Read-Only) Users employ AWS' managed read-only policy, supplemented by a small additional InsightCloudSec policy. The benefit of using the AWS managed policy lies in AWS' continuously updating the policy for new services, making it easier for the customer to attach and maintain the policy. Details on this recommendation can be found at AWS IAM Policies Standard User (Read-Only) AWS-managed supplemental policy.

New Permission Required: GCP

The following new permission is required for GCP: "Domains.registrations.list"

This addition supports the added visibility into GCP Cloud Domains. This permission is found in the Cloud Domains API. Refer to our documentation on GCP Projects and GCP Organizations for full details. [ENG-20257]

Features & Enhancements (22.11.2)

We are introducing a powerful new means of scoping bots in BotFactory, Badge Exclusions. As the name implies, Badge Exclusions allows customers to exclude cloud accounts based on badge assignment. This enhancement makes Bot scoping much more manageable at enterprise scale by permitting a combination of inclusions and exclusions of accounts using badges. [ENG-20598]
Insight Exemptions created by Insight Exemption Rules will now inherit the description/notes associated with the rule. [ENG-20423]
We have updated the license breakdown to include the organization name and account IDs for ease in analysis. This information is now in UI and in the CSV download. [ENG-20251]
We are using cache values to speed the loading times of the Resources page and listing. [ENG-20829]
Added Jinja support to ServiceNow Bot action fields. [ENG-20762]
We have updated the descriptions on all Query Filters and Insights for diagnostic settings to ensure consistency. The remediation steps have been removed from these Insights and replaced with a link to the steps instead. The reference links have also been updated so that all links appear as linked text rather than bare hyperlinks. [ENG-20618]

User Interface Changes (22.11.2)

We have improved the User Experience by allowing users to drill down into the supported resource types that the selected Query Filters and Insights support within the Resources section. [ENG-20730]

Resources (22.11.2)

AWS

We have added visibility into AWS' SageMaker Training Job resource. SageMaker Training Jobs are shown in the tool as the new Resource type Machine Learning Training Job under the Compute resource category. [ENG-17397, ENG-20467]
- Several new Query Filters support this resource: ML Training Job With/Without Network Isolation, ML Training Job With/Without Inter Container Traffic Encryption, and ML Training Job With/Without Managed Spot Training.
- Two new permissions for read-only policies are required: "sagemaker:DescribeTrainingJob" and "sagemaker:ListTrainingJobs".

GCP

We have added visibility and support for GCP Cloud Domains (Identity & Management resource category, DNS Domain resource type). [ENG-20257]
- A new permission–"domains.registrations.list", found in the Cloud Domains API—is required in order to harvest GCP Cloud Domains.
- Two new Query Filters have been added: DNS Domain Without DNSSEC and DNS Domain With Registrant Privacy Protection Disabled.
- Four existing Query Filters have been enhanced to support GCP Cloud Domains: DNS Domain With No Auto-renew, DNS Domain That Allows Transfer, DNS Domain Transfer Is Not Authorized, and DNS Domain Due To Expire Soon.

MULTI-CLOUD/GENERAL

We have enhanced support for the DNS Domain resource type (GCP Cloud Domains and AWS Route53) by adding two new fields to the Service Domain resource in ICS that check for DNSSEC being enabled and whether the registrant's details are privacy protected. [ENG-20257]
- A new option has been added to the Query Filter DNS Domain That Allows Transfer which allows the user to exclude domains with address types that are currently unauthorized for transfer, regardless of whether or not these domains have a transfer lock.

Insights (22.11.2)

Insight Severity As a reminder, in order to improve consistency within InsightCloudSec and to provide better overall alignment with Rapid7 we are planning to update our Insight severities. Our new severities will align with several features, including InsightVM, Kubernetes Guardrails, and Layered Context. The plan is to implement this change in release 22.11.9 on November 9, 2022

We do not expect that customers will have an impact from the Insight severity changes. The following API Endpoints should only be using a number tied to severities and those numbers will remain the same:

The only changes are the names of the severity titles and they will be as follows:

Current Severity Number	Current Severity Name	New Severity Number	New Severity Name
1	Minor	1	Info
2	Moderate	2	Low
3	Major	3	Medium
4	Severe	4	High
5	Critical	5	Critical

If you have any questions about the change, please reach out and we will answer as soon as possible.

New Compliance Pack - Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council controls (FFEIC) 22.11.2 includes a new Compliance Pack, Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council controls (FFEIC). The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council is a formal U.S. government interagency body composed of five banking regulators that is "empowered to prescribe uniform principles, standards, and report forms to promote uniformity in the supervision of financial institutions".

We have also added a new Insight Resource with Recent Suspicious Event that identifies resources with an Event-Driven Harvesting event in the past 24 hours that is suspicious based upon the change or based upon the change in relation to the current cloud state.

As part of the pack, we also updated the names of several Insights for consistency. The old/new names are as follows [ENG-20710]:

- Instance With Serial Port Connectivity Enabled

New Compliance Pack - Center for Internet Security (CIS) - Azure 1.5.0 We have added a new Compliance Pack Center for Internet Security (CIS) - Azure 1.5.0. This CIS Microsoft Azure Foundations Benchmark provides prescriptive guidance for establishing a secure baseline configuration for Microsoft Azure. The scope of this benchmark is to establish the foundation level of security for anyone adopting Microsoft Azure Cloud. The benchmark is, however, not an exhaustive list of all possible security configurations and architecture and should be understood as a starting point. [ENG-20585]
