Benchmark: 8.1.4 Observe user accounts to verify that any inactive accounts over 90 days old are either removed or disabled
Description
Accounts that are not used regularly are often targets of attack since it is less likely that any changes (such as a changed password) will be noticed. As such, these accounts may be more easily exploited and used to access cardholder data.
Usage
Install the mod:
mkdir dashboardscd dashboardspowerpipe mod initpowerpipe mod install github.com/turbot/steampipe-mod-aws-compliance
Start the Powerpipe server:
steampipe service startpowerpipe server
Open http://localhost:9033 in your browser and select 8.1.4 Observe user accounts to verify that any inactive accounts over 90 days old are either removed or disabled.
Run this benchmark in your terminal:
powerpipe benchmark run aws_compliance.benchmark.pci_dss_v321_requirement_8_1_4
Snapshot and share results via Turbot Pipes:
powerpipe benchmark run aws_compliance.benchmark.pci_dss_v321_requirement_8_1_4 --share
