Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Managed Services

New Tech Solutions, Inc. (NTS) AWS Managed Services (MS) are made up of a flexible and scalable team to meet customers’ needs for certified AWS Solutions Architects, SecOps, DevOps, and system administrators. NTS’ MS team is thoughtfully designed to augment in-house customer IT staff and aligning with business and technical needs. NTS’ expertise and tool sets can deliver consistent monitoring, alerting, optimizing, securing, cost saving, and deploying of AWS workloads for any sized environment. An example of this can be seen through a customer requirement to regularly patch a mission critical application part of an AWS Auto Scaling Group (ASG) with zero down-time SLA for the maintenance. NTS’ MS team.

Twistee: Customer Challenge

The customer was relying on a lengthy and error prone task to manually apply monthly OS security patches. Not only was this process difficult but it left the application limited as the physical servers were taken out of rotation to complete the patching. Now that the customer’s application was migrated to AWS they turned to NTS MS to optimize this process while maintaining security compliance and enhancing application availability during maintenance.  With the application workload in the cloud the customer was still relying on similar manual steps to patch an AMI and update the instances in the ASG Launch Configuration (LC) with it. Manual steps which were not tied to a set schedule and included: manually launching an instance from a Golden AMI copy, patch the instance, stop the instance, create an AMI copy of the instance, manage AMI copies and instances, find ASG and manually copy new AMI ID, and finally OS reboots one at a time to try and keep application availability at peak performance.

NTS Solution

Understanding the security and availability requirements of the application in AWS, NTS’ MS team elected to use AWS Lambda, Automation Document, SSM Patch Manager, and custom IAM Roles to patch the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) instances in the ASG. To successfully automate this process using AWS services, NTS’ MS team created the following end-to-end solution:

AWS IAM Roles to:

  • Encrypt/decrypt the instances (ensuring data at rest is preserved)
  • Allow SSM to run Automation Document (Zero-Trust authentication)
  • Lambda function to update ASG LC (Zero-Trust resource interaction)
  • SNS Topic Pass Role tied to SSM Maintenance Window & Automation (authenticated notifications)

AWS Lambda

  • Create Lambda function with Python runtime to create new LC using the updated AMI from Automation Document (create new LC using newly patched AMI, apply LC to target ASG)

AWS Systems Manager:

  • Create custom JSON Automation Document to Patch the RHEL Golden AMI and update the ASG LC with new AMI ID (orchestrates which resource IDs, Instance Type, subnets, Security Group, IAM Instance Profile to use, and Lambda function to update the ASG all in a particular order)
  • Maintenance Window with Cron expression to run at a scheduled time each month (dictates when Automation Document is executed)
  • Use an approved RHEL Patch Baseline for Critical, Important, and Moderate Security patches (apply approved RHEL patches per the customer requirements)

SNS Topic

  • Register notifications to send upon Success or Failures of Automation to MS team

Once the Automation steps are executed successfully per the Maintenance window an SNS Topic notifies the NTS MS team to initiate an ASG Refresh. The Refresh is a controlled manner in which instances in the ASG are replaced (deregistered) with the newly patched AMIs from the automation process. New instances are initialized and introduced to the ASG one at a time to conform with the requirement that a minimum of 3 application servers are available at all times.

The Results

NTS’ automation of AWS and Vendor patching has solidified the customers security posture related to OS patching. This once labor-intensive manual process is now fully automated saving the customer time and money while allowing the critical application to remain highly available and scalable during maintenance. The resulting success the NTS MS team was able to provide gave the customer multiple technical and business victories.

  • 0 missed patching cycles
  • 80% improvement to application availability during AWS maintenance
  • Latest protection from Vendor OS Security patch releases
  • Over 100 hours of Cloud Systems Administrator work saved annually
  • Reduced attack surface from bad actors

GovCloud Security with AWS

New Tech Solutions, Inc. (NTS) is a trusted Advanced Amazon Web Services (AWS) Consulting Partner serving the Public Sector since 1997. Whether it’s protecting existing workloads or building new AWS GovCloud environments, NTS deploys robust security solutions to meet the unique demands of the US Government. This article will introduce our core AWS security principles and how we work with US Government customers to develop System Security Plan (SSP), design a Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA), and keep current with the latest AWS security services and best practices.

For NTS, security in the cloud starts on day one of any consulting project. We believe in the foundations of a strong ZTA developed from an SSP. The SSP is a comprehensive organization or program level document that identifies the security requirements of a system and the controls to meet them. Over the years NTS has adopted its own internal version of an SSP which we use as a baseline to combine and develop with our customer’s SSP depending on requirements. NTS adheres to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards for our SSP and guidelines for assisting customers create their own unique SSP, which include but not limited to, NITS SP 800-171 Rev. 2, 800-17 Rev. 1, 800-53 Rev. 4, and 800-207 (Zero Trust Architecture). Secondly, NTS follows the principles of the AWS Well Architected Framework for Security, Reliability, Cost, Performance, and Operational Excellence when developing security controls in AWS. Another key factor for US Government customers is understanding the line of responsibility in the AWS Shared Responsibility model. NTS clearly defines the security “in” the cloud and security “of” the cloud allowing for accurate and effective system security policies. Overlap in shared controls between AWS and the customer do exist potentially exposing vulnerabilities but can be successfully circumvented through patch management policies, configuration management processes, and AWS training. Guided by these NIST and AWS principles an inclusive SSP is created and followed by NTS and the customer.

With a completed customer SSP, NTS goes to work on the ZTA of AWS account creation and security controls. Building on the zero-trust idea that no user, packet, or network is safe, ZTA comes into the light as the leading design principle for cloud solutions.

“Zero Trust Architecture is an end-to-end approach to network/data security that encompasses identity credentials, access management, operations, endpoints, hosting environments, and the interconnecting infrastructure” – NIST 800-207​

Driven by NIST standards and coupled with AWS security services and best practices, NTS can accomplish ZTA for cloud architecture re-designs and new deployments. Multi-account designs and AWS Organizations shrinks the attack surface when NTS designs ZTA. Segmenting logical functions further beyond the account boundary allows for a gateway security component in front of critical application-based segments. This gateway security component (policy enforcement point) can consist of AWS Transit Gateway, VPC, WAF, GuardDuty, and many others. Using AWS Organization’s Service Control Policies (SCP), Organizational Units (OU), and IAM US Government customers have a control plane and policy decision point. These AWS components are the foundation of ZTA and allow for the application-based segments (enterprise resources) to have trusted access.

In addition to ZTA principles and SSP control mapping, NTS monitors new AWS services released to GovCloud on a weekly basis so we can continuously keep our customers up to date with the latest security offerings from AWS. NTS’ dedicated and skilled AWS Engineers can quickly learn the new service and recommend implementations to our various customers through already established (or new) Professional Services or Managed Services. As a recent example, earlier this year was the release of Amazon Detective to AWS GovCloud Regions (US-West and US-East). Already familiar with this service being available in the AWS Commercial Regions, our AWS Solutions Architects were able to communicate its importance and use-cases to our Federal customers.

“Amazon Detective can analyze trillions of events from multiple data sources such as Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Flow Logs, AWS CloudTrail, and Amazon GuardDuty, and automatically creates a unified, interactive view of your resources, users, and the interactions between them over time.” – Amazon Web Services

Once Detective has learned the AWS account(s) behavior, for a one-month period, baselines of user, API calls, and other AWS Services activity can be established. Now, Detective can spot abnormalities across these three vectors and provide helpful visualizations of resources historical data or potential threat activities. Integrating Detective with AWS GuardDuty allows the NTS SOC to get real-time views of potential threats and quickly analyze them to determine if a finding is valid and its impact level. Investigating GuardDuty findings with Detective pulls logging information from AWS CloudTrail and VPC Flow Logs to visualize affected resources, originating IP and trends, target resource ID and IP, and the account in question. All these entities related to the single GuardDuty finding reduces the time it takes to spot, investigate, and archive false positive findings. In the event the finding is a threat and Incident Response (IR) processes are activated, NTS can quickly assess the finding to determine threat activity, followed by isolating the resource, and hunt down the threat as needed until the incident is resolved.

NTS is devoted to keeping our US Government customers AWS workloads secure through our experience with the best practices discussed in this article. Find out how NTS can enhance your AWS security posture today.
