CMS Hybrid Cloud Launches the 2024 Q4 CMS Enterprise Security Campaign

________________________________________________________________________



Summary: 

Starting *November 5th, 2024*, the CMS Hybrid Cloud Team began the Q4 2024 CMS Enterprise Security Campaign.

Any findings will be tracked via Jira tickets [ https://jiraent.cms.gov/secure/Dashboard.jspa ] and assigned to the respective teams to remediate risks. The Q4 CMS Enterprise Security Campaign is targeting a list of ten (10) Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) sourced from Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency's (CISA) Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog.

In consideration of Open Enrollment change moratoriums, Marketplace accounts will have additional time after Open Enrollment to address their findings. Additional guidance for Marketplace accounts will be communicated via Jira tickets.

On *November 20th, 2024*, new AWS Security Hub Guardrails will be added to *Non-Marketplace accounts* to prevent reintroduction of certain findings back into the CMS environment.

Benefits

Resolving findings in customers' Jira tickets [ https://jiraent.cms.gov/secure/Dashboard.jspa ] ensures CMS systems remain secure. Participating in proactive, routine security activities, such as this CMS Enterprise Security Campaign, reduces the risk of unauthorized and/or malicious activity.

The CMS Enterprise Security Campaign will target and identify the following CVEs from CISA's KEV catalog:

"*Note:* "Operating System (OS)-level findings are remediated by the CMS Hybrid Cloud Team for customers who receive regular CMS Gold Image patching services. Please note that CMS customers are responsible for patching any software installed on top of the provided CMS Gold Image.


* For *Non-Marketplace accounts*, CMS Hybrid Cloud will deploy auto-remediation for the following Security Hub controls:
* Guardrails / auto-remediations (Security Hub controls):
* EC2.18 [ https://docs.aws.amazon.com/securityhub/latest/userguide/ec2-controls.html#ec2-18 ] - Security groups should only allow unrestricted incoming traffic for authorized ports
* We will also manually ticket for these since it is stricter than EC2.19 (which was in 2024 Q3).

* S3.8 [ https://docs.aws.amazon.com/securityhub/latest/userguide/s3-controls.html#s3-8 ] - S3 general purpose buckets should block public access.
* This was ticketed in Q3 2024, thus new tickets will not be created for Q4.


* CMS customer teams with existing findings for these Security Hub controls will receive a Jira ticket.
* Teams will either need to resolve the finding or obtain an exemption [ https://cloud.cms.gov/exemption-policy-guide-aws-security-hub ].

Expected Actions

* CMS customer teams with findings will receive a Jira ticket [ https://jiraent.cms.gov/secure/Dashboard.jspa ].
* If you would like to obtain an exemption, you will need to complete an attestation [ https://cloud.cms.gov/compliance-attestations ].

* CMS customers should resolve all received Jira tickets as soon as possible.
* For help, please refer to the "Questions or Concerns" section below for instructions on how to submit a Hybrid Cloud Support Ticket [ https://jiraent.cms.gov/plugins/servlet/desk/portal/22 ].

* Failure to resolve findings can lead to compromised systems that result in greater risks for unauthorized and/or malicious activity.
* Unresolved system flaws will result in Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&Ms) being issued against the Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA) boundary.

Timeline

* *November 5th, 2024**:* CMS Customers with findings will receive Jira tickets [ https://jiraent.cms.gov/secure/Dashboard.jspa ] for the finding noted in the "Benefits" section above.
* *November 20th, 2024: *CMS Hybrid Cloud will add new AWS Security Hub GuardRails to *Non-Marketplace accounts *to protect CMS systems from reintroducing findings back into the environment.
* *Open Enrollment*: Given the security campaign overlaps with Open Enrollment, Marketplace accounts will have additional time after Open Enrollment to address their findings.

Additional Information

* Learn about Security Hub Campaigns [ https://cloud.cms.gov/cms-cloud-security-campaigns ]
* Exemption Policy Guide [ https://cloud.cms.gov/exemption-policy-guide-aws-security-hub ]
