Benchmark: 8.3.2: Strong cryptography is used to render all authentication factors unreadable during transmission and storage on all system components

Description

Network devices and applications have been known to transmit unencrypted, readable authentication factors (such as passwords and passphrases) across the network and/or store these values without encryption. As a result, a malicious individual can easily intercept this information during transmission using a 'sniffer,' or directly access unencrypted authentication factors in files where they are stored, and then use this data to gain unauthorized access.

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 8.3.2: Strong cryptography is used to render all authentication factors unreadable during transmission and storage on all system components.

Run this benchmark in your terminal:

powerpipe benchmark run aws_compliance.benchmark.pci_dss_v40_requirement_8_3_2

Snapshot and share results via Turbot Pipes:

powerpipe benchmark run aws_compliance.benchmark.pci_dss_v40_requirement_8_3_2 --share
