AWS security audit using Scout2

Scout2 is an open source AWS security auditing tool and it is used to assess AWS environments security posture using AWS Python API. The scan output will be stored in JSON format, and the final results of the Scout2 will be produced as a simple HTML website with detailed information of AWS cloud security posture. It performs the scans and audits based on its existing rule set and test cases, and this can be extended based on our custom scripts and scenarios.

More details about the tool can be found at https://github.com/nccgroup/Scout2. This tool requires AWS IAM credentials to perform the scan; refer to https://github.com/nccgroup/AWS-recipes/blob/master/IAM-Policies/Scout2-Default.json for user policy creation. ...
