Benchmark: 2.3 Encrypt all non-console administrative access using strong cryptography

Description

If non-console (including remote) administration does not use secure authentication and encrypted communications, sensitive administrative or operational level information (like administrator's IDs and passwords) can be revealed to an eavesdropper. A malicious individual could use this information to access the network, become administrator, and steal data. Clear-text protocols (such as HTTP, telnet, etc.) do not encrypt traffic or logon details, making it easy for an eavesdropper to intercept this information. Select a sample of system components and verify that non-console administrative access is encrypted.

Usage

Install the mod:

mkdir dashboards
cd dashboards
powerpipe mod init
powerpipe mod install github.com/turbot/steampipe-mod-aws-compliance

Start the Powerpipe server:

steampipe service start
powerpipe server

Open http://localhost:9033 in your browser and select 2.3 Encrypt all non-console administrative access using strong cryptography.

Run this benchmark in your terminal:

powerpipe benchmark run aws_compliance.benchmark.pci_dss_v321_requirement_2_3

Snapshot and share results via Turbot Pipes:

powerpipe benchmark run aws_compliance.benchmark.pci_dss_v321_requirement_2_3 --share
