Zeus is an AWS security auditing and hardening tool that evaluates security configurations across multiple AWS services including EC2, S3, CloudTrail, CloudWatch, and KMS. The tool performs security assessments based on user-defined profiles and compares current configurations against CIS AWS Benchmark recommendations. It identifies security gaps and can automatically apply recommended hardening settings upon user request. Key security areas covered include: - Identity and Access Management (IAM) policy validation - Root account security controls - Multi-factor authentication enforcement - Credential rotation and lifecycle management - Password policy compliance - Access key management - Billing and account security settings Currently, the tool focuses primarily on logging mechanisms and IAM security controls. It checks for compliance with security best practices such as avoiding root account usage, ensuring MFA is enabled for all users, managing credential lifecycles, and enforcing strong password policies. The tool allows users to create custom security profiles for different environments and automatically remediate identified security issues based on established benchmarks.
