Forseti 2.0 Launch
justi...@forsetisecurity.org
We are happy to announce the launch of Forseti 2.0 !
Over 100 organizations have adopted Forseti in order to help secure their Google Cloud Platform environments since version 1.0 initially launched at Google Cloud Next ‘17.
As a result of all our contributors’ and testers’ hard work, the following New Features and Architecture Improvements are now available in version 2.0.
New Features
New CLI client to operate all the Forseti components on demand.
Parallelized inventory process.
Easier to add new inventory types.
New inventories available: Bucket IAM Policies, API Configurations, Audit Logging Configurations, Networks, Subnetworks, and G Suite Users.
New scanners for service account key rotation, audit log configuration, and enabled APIs.
IAM policy scanner now audits bucket IAM policies.
Explain component to help you understand the effective roles and permissions that affect your Google Cloud Platform resources from the granted IAM policies.
A more intuitive installation process with better default rule files.
Architecture Improvements
Centralized table for all GCP inventory data, with optimized schema and indexes for easier and faster queries.
New auth library that negates the use of a separate G Suite service account and exported key.
Forseti GCE VMs now run on the latest Ubuntu 18.04.
