Ask HN: Cloud security auditing for indie-grade projects?

2 pointsby joshavantover 1 year ago
Hi all,<p>I&#x27;m an indie dev and standing up some cloud infrastructure for side projects.<p>I&#x27;m wondering what tools&#x2F;services exist for performing security audits for indie-grade projects.<p>I have a personal budget of &#x27;some hundreds of dollars&#x27; versus an enterprise budget of &#x27;some thousands of dollars&#x27;.<p>Also, I&#x27;m not handling, e.g., PCI data, so I don&#x27;t expect that I require a particularly extensive security audit.<p>(And, yes, I&#x27;m aware &#x27;security&#x27; is an ongoing process + multi-layered system. What I&#x27;m trying to identify here is a good sanity check before exposing a seemingly hardened host to the open internet.)<p>Thoughts?

Which cloud provider?<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;prowler-cloud&#x2F;prowler">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;prowler-cloud&#x2F;prowler</a> is easy to get going with, and gives decent results. It&#x27;s much stronger at AWS than GCP or Azure.<p>Steampipe can be a little harder to wrap your head around, but scales really well and has broader support: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hub.steampipe.io&#x2F;mods?objectives=security" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hub.steampipe.io&#x2F;mods?objectives=security</a>
