Cartography vs Prowler
GitHub Stats
About Cartography
Cartography is a Python tool developed by Lyft that consolidates infrastructure assets and the relationships between them in an intuitive graph view powered by Neo4j. It ingests data from AWS, GCP, Azure, Okta, GitHub, and other services to build a comprehensive map of your cloud environment. Security teams use Cartography to identify attack paths, find misconfigurations, and understand blast radius by querying relationships between resources like EC2 instances, S3 buckets, IAM roles, and security groups. Its graph-based approach makes it easy to ask questions like 'which instances can reach this database' or 'which IAM users have admin access across accounts' that would be extremely difficult with flat inventory tools.
About Prowler
Prowler is a cloud security assessment tool that performs over 300 checks against AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes infrastructures. Aligning with CIS benchmarks, it evaluates cloud environments for compliance and security vulnerabilities. Prowler is a critical resource for cloud security practitioners and auditors aiming to enhance the security posture of their cloud deployments through comprehensive and automated assessments.
