The OWASP Cloud Security ProjectThe rise of DevOps and cloud computing has given organisations unprecedented access to feature-rich and high-scalable elastic platforms that allow them to deliver products and services with a velocity and agility that has never been seen before. But with new capabilities come new attack vectors. The OWASP Cloud Security project aims to help people secure their products and services running in the cloud by providing a set of easy to use threat model templates and security control BDD stories that pool together the expertise and experience of the development, operations and security communities. Why threat modelling?Threat modelling addresses security issues at a fundamental, architectural level. Rather than trying to bolt on controls haphazardly, threat modelling results in more robust and secure systems by baking security into the design as well as identifying the gaps and weaknesses. Using templates allows the sharing of common threats in a way that can be tweaked and tuned by individual organisations. Improvements to the threat models can then be fed back to the community for the benefit of everyone. Why BDD?Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) adds a natural language layer on top of test-driven development by defining requirements in a machine parsable language that is also human readable. While adoption of BDD within development communities has been mixed (often because the developers end up having to duplicate effort as both producers and consumers of the BDD stories), BDD is actually an excellent fit for representing security control requirements in a way that is also continuously testable. Rather than burying a control requirement in a policy document that nobody reads, it can be represented in a way that an auditor would be happy with at the same time as being implemented as automated detective or preventative tests. By bringing together threat model templates and BDD stories for mitigating controls, provided by the community, the OWASP Cloud Security project helps organisations understand the risks they face on their journey into the cloud. DescriptionThe OWASP Cloud Security project started life as a BDD for Cloud Security session held at the awesome OWASP Summit 2017. In this session approximately ten people spent an hour discussing whether it made sense to use BDD a way of capturing cloud control requirements in a way that fostered collaboration between development, operations, and security. The question then became - where do the requirements come from? PCI/DSS or some other standard? After spending the rest of the summit in various threat modelling sessions, it became clear to the project leader that it would be good to threat model the cloud services and then to write BDD stories for the mitigating controls from those threat models. This project provides the following for an ever-expanding list of cloud providers and services:
