Integrating Doppler with Prowler CSPM (AWS)

The cloud security landscape has witnessed significant advancements in security tools and technologies over the past decade, with notable innovations including agent-less cloud security posture management systems like Wiz, Prowler, and ORCA, as well as Application Security Orchestration and Correlation (ASOC) tools like SEMplicity and Aikido. Despite these advancements, security tooling remains vulnerable to improper authentication mechanisms, particularly concerning long-lived and overly scoped credentials. The Doppler Secrets platform can effectively utilize the industry-leading open-source cloud security posture management tool Prowler to secure AWS environments by leveraging its dynamic secrets feature. A Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) system plays a crucial role in assessing, monitoring, and improving the security posture of cloud environments, with Prowler providing a comprehensive framework for auditing and monitoring cloud environments on AWS. The conventional installation process for Prowler requires specific predefined -env variables for authentication, which must be linked to a pre-defined read-only policy established within AWS. Implementing Doppler's dynamic secrets feature can mitigate the risk associated with long-lived credentials by generating temporary AWS credentials tailored specifically for the requirements of the Prowler scanner, enabling seamless collaboration and enhanced security for projects.
