🎉 NEW FEATURES​

Okta and Microsoft Entra ID SCIM 2.0 support​

There's nothing worse than the endless stream of tickets to add, remove, or change user access to SaaS services. Now, with Okta and Microsoft Entra ID SCIM 2.0 support in Mondoo private instances, that's a thing of the past. Sync your users and groups automatically so the right users always have the proper access, keeping your auditors happy without a ticket in sight. Did that big budget increase finally allow you to expand your security team? Automatically provision access for your new team members as they start. Time to promote an engineer into management to wrangle your growing team? Automatically provide that employee with the appropriate administrative access to Mondoo spaces and organizations. Contact your support representative to learn more about enabling SCIM 2.0 support, including automated deployment options with the Mondoo Terraform provider.

NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0 support​

Automatically track your compliance against the newly released NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0. With CIS benchmark checks automatically mapped to the 104 new CSF 2.0 controls, you can enable policies and watch the results flow in showing where you stack up against these updated NIST recommendations.

NIST CSF 2.0

🧹 IMPROVEMENTS​

Resource improvements​

gcp.project.computeService.attachedDisk​

  • Add a new source field.

AWS Resources​

  • Improve handling of integer values in AWS. Fields representing maximum/minimum values, such as aws.cloudfront.distribution.origin.connectionTimeout, now return 0 when no value has been set. When a field represents a port value, such as aws.rds.dbInstance.port, Mondoo now represents unset values as -1.

Expanded CIS GCP Foundations policy​

Catch security problems before they reach production without the need for multiple tools and security policies. New Terraform variants in the CIS GCP Foundations benchmark policy provide a single check for both running GCP assets and the Terraform code that generates those assets. Learn more about securing Terraform code using Mondoo in the Mondoo docs.

New CLI flags for inventory files​

New simpler command line flags make it clearer how to use inventory files with cnspec and how to specify different inventory formats:

  • --inventory-file string: Set the path to the inventory file.
  • --inventory-format-ansible: Set the inventory format to Ansible.
  • --inventory-format-domainlist: Set the inventory format to domain list.

Additional package data in SBOMs​

SBOM files generated with cnquery sbom now include each installed package's origin and architecture data.

Improved AWS instance naming / tagging​

AWS instances scanned with SSM or through the Mondoo Platform AWS integration include new configuration information to make them easier to find and understand:

  • Asset names now use the AWS instance name (if the instance has a name)
  • New mondoo.com/parent-id, mondoo.com/instance-id, and mondoo.com/ssm-connection labels display on each AWS instance asset.

Wolfi container package detection​

Expose package information in Chainguard's Wolfi "un-distribution" with support for Wolfi's APK packages:
