Turbot Pipes is a cloud intelligence and security platform to gain insights from 80+ cloud services and visualize 700+ ready-to-use interactive dashboards to understand your cloud inventory, navigate resource relationships, evaluate cost optimization recommendations and ensure security posture best practices. With a Pipes always-free Developer account, you can instantly evaluate your cloud environments without the overhead of an expensive CSPM or CNAPP service.
AWS CIS benchmarks are among the more widely used security benchmarks cloud teams use as guidance to configure their AWS accounts. In the latest iteration, AWS CIS v3.0, includes over 60 recomendations. Turbot Pipes leverages the Steampipe AWS Compliance mod which includes the latest CIS benchmark along with 25 other security and compliance control frameworks (e.g. NIST, SOC2, PCI, HIPAA, etc) to evaluate AWS accounts.
It takes only a couple of minutes to evaluate your AWS account for the latest CIS benchmark. Below we will walkthrough how to create your always-free Pipes Developer account, connect your first AWS account, and run your first assessment.
