The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) provides fundamental security principles, controls, and control criteria to guide cloud service providers (CSPs) and cloud service customers (CSCs) to secure, systematically assess, and manage cloud computing environments. This mapping connects this shared security responsibility model (SSRM) of the CSA CCM with threat mitigation of adversary behaviors as described in MITRE ATT&CK. This connection provides a quantifiable demonstration of how these capabilities can provide threat-informed defenses and serve as a foundation for threat-based cyber assessments.

| TVM-07 | Penetration Testing | mitigates | T1190 | Exploit Public-Facing Application |
Comments
This control requires both CSP and CSC to conduct regular penetration testing using reputable third parties for overall testing processes and communication of results within agreed boundaries. The control guidance states that the penetration testing should be used to identify critical vulnerabilities, assess the effectiveness of security controls, validate compliance with industry standards, in order to provide recommendations for remediation and security improvements in cloud environments.
The mapping for TVM-07 Penetration Testing will be aligned with the M1016 Vulnerability Scanning mitigation definition of using "automated or manual assessment of systems, applications, and networks to identify misconfigurations, unpatched software, or other security weaknesses." Penetration testing in this context can take the form of Cloud Environment Scanning, use application security testing (SAST/DAST) tools, and the use of any red team cloud tools (Pacu, StormSpotter) to detect vulnerabilities and weaknesses for exploitation and impact.

| IAM-04 | Separation of Duties | mitigates | T1548.005 | Temporary Elevated Cloud Access |
Comments
This control describes separation of duties (SoD) must be implemented by assigning and managing distinct roles for users, applications, and services, minimizing overlapping responsibilities and restricting access to critical functions through centralized role management, multi-level approvals, and automated provisioning tools.
Adversaries may abuse permission configurations that allow them to gain temporarily elevated access to cloud resources. Many cloud environments allow administrators to grant user or service accounts permission to request just-in-time access to roles, impersonate other accounts, or pass roles onto resources and services. In terms of mitigations, limit the privileges of cloud accounts to assume, create, or impersonate additional roles, policies, and permissions to only those required. Where just-in-time access is enabled, consider requiring manual approval for temporary elevation of privileges.

Adversaries has been observed using this technique to directly download cloud user data such as OneDrive files. For this technique, in terms of mitigation, Configure user permissions groups and roles for access to cloud storage. Implement strict Identity and Access Management (IAM) controls to prevent access to storage solutions except for the applications, users, and services that require access. Ensure that temporary access tokens are issued rather than permanent credentials, especially when access is being granted to entities outside of the internal security boundary.

Adversaries may utilize these cloud native methods to directly access virtual infrastructure and pivot through an environment. These connections typically provide direct console access to the VM rather than the execution of scripts (i.e., Cloud Administration Command). For this technique, in terms of mitigation, limit which users are allowed to access compute infrastructure via cloud native methods. If direct virtual machine connections are not required for administrative use or certain users, disable these connection types where feasible.

Comments
This control describes the enforcement of the principle of least privilege implementing controls such as regular automated reviews of access permissions, enforcing MFA for high-risk accounts, promptly revoking unused privileges, and by limiting access to sensitive data.
Adversary's have been observed using this technique to create new virtual machines for defense evasion within the target's cloud environment after leveraging credential access to cloud assets. For this technique, in terms of mitigation, limit permissions for deleting new instances in accordance with least privilege. Organizations should limit the number of users within the organization with an IAM role that has administrative privileges, strive to reduce all permanent privileged role assignments, and conduct periodic entitlement reviews on IAM users, roles and policies. Additionally, enforce user permissions to ensure only the expected users have the capability to create new instances.
