Summary

HashiCorp has introduced a new pre-written policy library co-developed with AWS to reduce the barrier of adoption for policy as code infrastructure workflows. The company has released pre-written Sentinel policy sets for AWS, available in the Terraform registry and co-created by HashiCorp and AWS. These policies are written specifically for AWS services in compliance with the Center for Internet Security (CIS) and cover a wide range of use cases, including security, compliance, and operational efficiency. The pre-written policy sets help organizations enforce CIS AWS Foundation Benchmarks v1.2, v1.4, and v3.0, supporting various services such as EC2, KMS, Cloudtrail, S3, IAM, VPC, RDS, and EFS.
