Benchmark: Requirement 5: Protect all systems against malware and regularly update anti-virus software or programs

Description

Malicious software, commonly referred to as “malware”—including viruses, worms, and Trojans—enters the network during many businessapproved activities including employee e-mail and use of the Internet, mobile computers, and storage devices, resulting in the exploitation of system vulnerabilities. Anti-virus software must be used on all systems commonly affected by malware to protect systems from current and evolving malicious software threats

Usage

Install the mod:

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