# AWS Security Hub Manual Deployment Guide

This guide will walk you through the steps to manually deploy the Falcon Integration Gateway on
an AWS EC2 instance as a Python application.

## Prerequisites

- Falcon API Credentials with the following API scopes:
- **Event streams**: [Read]
- **Hosts**: [Read]
- Have appropriate AWS permissions to:
- Create EC2 instances
- Create IAM roles/policies
- Access Security Hub

## Deployment Steps

### 1. Create an Instance Profile

This will be used to grant the EC2 instance access to the Security Hub and EC2 API's.

> :exclamation: If you already have an instance profile that you would like to use, just ensure the role has the appropriate permissions and skip to step 2.
#### 1.1 Create a policy

1. Navigate to the [IAM Policies](https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/home#/policies) page
1. Click the **Create policy** button
1. Select the **JSON** tab
1. Paste the following policy into the editor:

```json
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"ec2:DescribeInstances",
"ec2:DescribeRegions",
"securityhub:GetFindings"
],
"Resource": "*"
},
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "securityhub:BatchImportFindings",
"Resource": "arn:aws:securityhub:*:*:product/crowdstrike/crowdstrike-falcon"
}
]
}
```

1. Click the **Next** button
1. Give it a name (e.g. `FIG-SecurityHub-Access-Policy`) and click the **Create policy** button

#### 1.2 Create a role

1. Navigate to the [IAM Roles](https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/home#/roles) page
1. Click the **Create role** button
1. Select **Custom trust policy** and paste the following policy into the editor:

```json
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"Service": "ec2.amazonaws.com"
},
"Action": "sts:AssumeRole"
}
]
}
```

1. Click the **Next** button
1. Search for the policy you created in the previous step (e.g. `FIG-SecurityHub-Access-Policy`) and select it
1. Click the **Next** button
1. Give it a name (e.g. `FIG-SecurityHub-Access-Role`) and click the **Create role** button

### 2. Create an EC2 Instance (Linux)

This step is completely up to you. You can use the AWS console, CLI, or any other method you prefer to create an EC2 instance. Just make sure you select the instance profile you created in the previous step
and that you have access to the instance via SSH.

For the purposes of this guide, we will be using the latest Amazon Linux 2023 AMI.

> If you have an existing instance that you would like to use, just ensure the instance has instance profile you created in the previous step and skip to step 3.

#### 2.1 Create an EC2 instance

1. Navigate to the [EC2 Instances](https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home#Instances) page
1. Click the **Launch Instance** button
1. Fill out the instance details as you see fit
1. Under **Advanced details**
1. Select the instance profile you created in the previous step
1. Click the **Launch instance** button

### 3. Install the FIG

Connect to your EC2 instance via SSH and follow the steps below to install the FIG.

#### 3.1 Ensure the following packages are installed

- Python 3.6+
- pip
- git

```bash
sudo dnf install python3 python3-pip git
```

> Use the package manager for your distro to ensure these packages are installed.
#### 3.1 Install the FIG

1. Clone the repository

```bash
git clone https://github.com/CrowdStrike/falcon-integration-gateway.git
```

1. Change to the FIG directory

```bash
cd falcon-integration-gateway
```

1. Install the python dependencies.

```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

#### 3.2 Configure the FIG

There are two different ways that you can configure the FIG to use the AWS backend.
You can either use the `config/config.ini` file or you can use environment variables.

> Refer to the [configuration options](../../../config/config.ini) available to the application
> and backend.

##### 3.2.1 Configure the FIG using the `config/config.ini` file

1. Modify the `config/config.ini` file and set the following minimum values:

```ini
[main]
backends = AWS
[falcon]
cloud_region = <Falcon Cloud Region>
client_id = <Falcon Client ID>
client_secret = <Falcon Client Secret>
[aws]
region = <AWS Region>
```

##### 3.2.2 Configure the FIG using environment variables

1. Set the following minimum environment variables:

```bash
export FIG_BACKENDS=AWS
export FALCON_CLOUD_REGION=<Falcon Cloud Region>
export FALCON_CLIENT_ID=<Falcon Client ID>
export FALCON_CLIENT_SECRET=<Falcon Client Secret>
export AWS_REGION=<AWS Region>
```

#### 3.3 Run the FIG

1. Run the application

```bash
python3 -m fig
```

1. Verify output

```bash
2023-10-18 16:45:43 fig MainThread INFO Starting Falcon Integration Gateway 3.1.10
2023-10-18 16:45:43 fig MainThread INFO AWS Backend is enabled.
2023-10-18 16:45:43 fig MainThread INFO Enabled backends will only process events with types: {'DetectionSummaryEvent'}
2023-10-18 16:45:44 fig cs_stream INFO Opening Streaming Connection
2023-10-18 16:45:44 fig cs_stream INFO Established Streaming Connection: 200 OK
...
...
```

### 4. Verify in Security Hub

As events are processed by the FIG, they will be sent to Security Hub. You can verify this by following the steps below.

1. Navigate to the [Security Hub](https://console.aws.amazon.com/securityhub/home) page
1. Click the **Findings** tab
1. Add a filter for **Product name** and enter **CrowdStrike Falcon**
