GuardDuty Multi-Account Manager

Automate the AWS GuardDuty account invitation lifecycle for all of your organizations AWS accounts in all regions as well as aggregate and normalize the GuardDuty findings

Architecture

'docs/dgram.png'

Above is an example architecture for a master account with a member account. Note: The member account has GuardDuty detectors in every region as does the master account.

Why This?

As a multi-account user of Amazon Web Services you have a few choices when deciding to turn on GuardDuty across your accounts.

Your options are:

  1. Stack Sets
  2. Human invitations
  3. Something else.

Due to the nature of stack sets and the distributed governance of Mozilla it breaks our trust model to grant the needed permissions to run stack sets. Human behavior consistently generates inconsistent results.

This is why we elected to create GuardDuty Multi-Account Manager

What is it?

GuardDuty Multi-Account Manager is a series of lambda functions designed to do the following:

  • Enable GuardDuty Masters in all AWS Regions present and future.
  • Empower account owners to decide to enable GuardDuty
  • Manage the lifecycle of invitations to the member accounts
  • Aggregate all findings from all detectors in all regions, normalize the data, and send to a single SQS queue

How do I deploy it?

Dependencies

  • AWS Organizations
    • Either run the GuardDuty Multi-Account Manager from within an AWS Organizations parent account or
    • Establish an IAM Role in the AWS Organizations parent account that can be assumed by the GuardDuty Multi-Account Manager. Example IAM Role
  • Deploy the Cloudformation Cross Account Outputs service which allows CloudFormation stacks in other AWS accounts to report back output. This is used to convey the GuardDuty Member Account IAM Role information. In order to deploy this service follow the instructions in the README which explains how.
    • Make sure that in Step 1 and 2 you deploy each template in only one region. These resources shouldn't be deployed multiple times in an AWS account.
    • Make sure that in Step 3, you deploy the cloudformation-sns-emission-consumer.yml template in every region that you want to allow your GuardDuty members to potentially deploy the GuardDuty member role in. For example, in the included guardduty-member-account-role.yml, it assumes that you'll have deployed cloudformation-sns-emission-consumer.yml in both us-west-2 and us-east-1
  • Customize the guardduty-member-account-role.yml CloudFormation template which you'll distribute to your members.
    • You need to set two values in the Mappings section of the template
      • MasterAccount:Principal : Set this to the root principal of your AWS account in which you're running the GuardDuty master. For example arn:aws:iam::123456789012:root
      • SNSTopicForPublishingIAMRoleArn:Account : Set this to the AWS Account ID of the AWS account that you've deployed the Cloudformation Cross Account Outputs service in. For example 123456789012.
    • Add any additional regions that you wish to support (which you've deployed Cloudformation Cross Account Outputs in) into the TheRegionYouAreDeployingIn mapping following the example of the existing two regions listed there already.

Getting Started

Onboarding Accounts

  1. Ensure that the the mappings are configured in the cloudformation/guardduty-member-account-role.yml template as described above
  2. Deploy the customized cloudformation/guardduty-member-account-role.yml CloudFormation template in your member AWS accounts. This CloudFormation template should only be deployed once in a single region in each member AWS account. The account will then register with the master account and go through the invitation process automatically for every region.
