     Info

    Overview

    CIS Hardened Container Image Level 1 on Ubuntu Linux 22.04 LTS (ARM) is a pre-configured container image built by the Center for Internet Security (CIS®) to run on supported container runtimes and orchestration services, such as HAQM Elastic Container Service (HAQM ECS) or HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (HAQM EKS). It is a pre-configured, security-hardened image that aligns with the robust security recommendations, the CIS Benchmarks, making it easier for organizations to meet regulatory requirements.

    Not only is this container image pre-hardened to the CIS Benchmarks guidance, but it is also patched monthly in alignment with the updates from the software vendor.

    Key Benefits

  • Enhanced Security: Mitigates risks like malware, denial of service, and authorization issues by following globally-recognized secure configuration guidance to support your cloud security posture management (CSPM) program.
  • Compliance Readiness: Helps your organization comply with PCI DSS, FedRAMP, DoD Cloud Computing SRG, FISMA, select NIST publications, and more.
  • Faster Deployment: Pre-configured according to CIS Benchmarks, allowing you to deploy secure virtual machine images.
  • Consistency Across Environments: Ensures consistent security configurations across development, testing, and production environments, reducing drift and compatibility risks.
  • Cost Efficiency: Lowers remediation efforts, reduces attack surface, and minimizes business loss from security incidents.
  • Easier Maintenance: Regular updates ensure that your systems are always in line with the latest security standards and software patches.

    This container image is hardened against the corresponding Level 1 profile which is intended to be practical and prudent, provide a clear security benefit, and not inhibit the utility of the technology beyond acceptable means. No packages are installed on or removed from this image outside of those already present on the base image or as recommended in alignment with the corresponding CIS Benchmark recommendations.

    To demonstrate conformance to the CIS Ubuntu Linux 22.04 LTS Level 1 Benchmark, industry-recognized hardening guidance, each image includes an HTML report from CIS Configuration Assessment Tool (CIS-CAT® Pro). Each CIS Hardened Image contains the following files:

  • Base_CIS-CAT_Report.html - this provides a report of CIS-CAT Pro run against the instance before any change is made by CIS (e.g., software updates, CIS hardening).
  • basevm.txt - this provides a list of the packages resident on the instance prior to any change being made by CIS (e.g., software updates, CIS hardening).
  • CIS-CAT_Report.html - this provides a report of CIS-CAT Pro run against the instance after the corresponding CIS Benchmark was applied to the image.
  • Exceptions.txt - this provides a list of recommendations that are not applied because the configuration of those recommendations may inhibit the use of this image in this CSP, require environment-specific expertise, or hinder the integration of this image with CSP services or extensions.
  • afterhardening.txt - this provides a list of packages resident on the instance after the corresponding CIS Benchmark was applied to the image.

    These reports are located in /home/CIS_Hardened_Reports.

    Container image

    Containers are lightweight, portable execution environments that wrap server application software in a filesystem that includes everything it needs to run. Container applications run on supported container runtimes and orchestration services, such as HAQM Elastic Container Service (HAQM ECS) or HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (HAQM EKS). Both eliminate the need for you to install and operate your own container orchestration software by managing and scheduling containers on a scalable cluster of virtual machines.
