Cloud Detection & Response

Let’s dive in to our first attack scenario together: CDRGoat Scenario 2. This scenario demonstrates how a simple but popular web application vulnerability, SSRF, can escalate into complete AWS account compromise. We'll walk through a realistic attack chain that leverages common cloud misconfigurations rather than obvious security flaws.

Get started with Stream's CDRGoat! This post will walk through how to set up your environment, run your first scenario and start gaining value from the detections it generates.

Stream's CDRGoat is an open-source project that lets SecOps teams safely validate detections and investigations against realistic cloud attack paths. Each scenario, developed by Stream’s Security Research and Product teams, includes vulnerable infrastructure and walks through a guided live attack to show exactly how adversaries exploit cloud environments in practice.

For large-scale cloud environments, the math is simple. When detections depend on stale data, triage is manual, and investigations are fragmented, even the best teams fall behind. Stream’s platform gives SecOps teams complete cloud visibility in real-time, with built-in automations and AI tooling that make investigations easy.
