Remediate AWS EC2 Instance with Open SSH Access from Wiz Alert - Workflow Template
Remediate AWS EC2 Instance with Open SSH Access from Wiz Alert - Workflow Template

Whenever an alert is raised on an AWS EC2 Instance having an open access (from the internet) for SSH, orchestrate remediation.

Updated over 6 months ago

This Torq workflow template is designed for Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM). It automates the remediation process of AWS EC2 instances with open SSH access detected by Wiz. The workflow retrieves instance and security details, identifies the instance owner via Slack, offers the owner options to stop the instance or modify the security group to restrict SSH access, and if needed, opens a security ticket in Jira. This ensures immediate response to potential vulnerabilities, maintaining strong security compliance.

Trigger
