Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3
The Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3 integration detects a variety of data loss prevention, account misconfiguration, and user security risks in an integrated AWS account that could leave you and your organization vulnerable.
- An AWS account using AWS S3 (Simple Storage Service)
- For initial setup, access to the AWS account with permission to create a new IAM Role with the scopes listed below.
For the AWS S3 integration to function, Cloudflare CASB requires the following access scopes via an IAM Role with cross-account access:
s3:PutBucketNotifications3:GetObjects3:ListBucket
These permissions follow the principle of least privilege to ensure that only the minimum required access is granted. To learn more about each permission scope, refer to the AWS S3 Permissions documentation ↗.
The AWS S3 integration currently scans for the following findings, or security risks. Findings are grouped by category and then ordered by severity level.
To stay up-to-date with new CASB findings as they are added, bookmark this page or subscribe to its RSS feed.
Flag security issues in S3 Buckets, including overpermissioning, access policies, and user security best practices.
