Permissions (22.3.0)

Permissions:AWS

We have revised our supplemental AWS policy to remove sqs:ReceiveMessage from our deny permissions, as this permission is required to harvest events for EDH.` [ENG-15969]

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.

Features & Enhancements (22.3.0)

New Container Vulnerability Assessment (CVA) now GA for SaaS Customers Beginning with 22.3.0 a new container image vulnerability assessment (CVA) capability is available for GA for all SaaS customers. CVA is designed to continuously audit running deployments to identify new software vulnerabilities. CVA assesses containers across services including Kubernetes environments using IVM and Snyk vulnerability databases. Vulnerability findings are presented in InsightCloudSec or automatically reported/exported allowing users to zoom in on riskiest assets by focusing on business segments such as deployed workloads and applications. Check out our press release on CVA from March here. [ENG-14327]
