Quickly add your accounts to Cloud Accounts by connecting your AWS Organization.

Cloud Accounts supports adding accounts managed by your AWS Organization by deploying features to the root account or organizational unit (OU) level. Adding your AWS Organization to Cloud Accounts provides a quick way to allow Trend Vision One access to your managed cloud accounts to provide security and visibility into your cloud assets. Some Cloud Account features have limited support for AWS regions. For more information, see AWS supported regions and limitations.
Before you begin, ensure you have access to a sign-in or user role with administrator privileges, including permissions to create and manage AWS CloudFormation stack sets for the AWS Organization you wish to connect. For more information, see AWS CloudFormation StackSets and AWS Organizations.

  • The steps are valid for the AWS console as of November 2023.
  • Adding an AWS organization forces accounts managed by that organization to apply the same settings configured for the entire organization. Settings cannot be modified for individual accounts added as part of an organization.
    To apply different configurations to individual accounts managed by an AWS organization, you must add those accounts separately. Either add the accounts before adding your AWS organization, or use the OrganizationExcludedAccounts parameter to exclude those accounts from the stack deployment.
  • The Cloud Accounts app currently only supports connecting organizations using the CloudFormation stack template.

Procedure

  1. Sign in to the Trend Vision One console.
  2. In a separate browser tab, sign into your AWS organization account.

    3. Select the AWS region for CloudFormation template deployment.
      Note
      Note
      The default region is based on your Trend Vision One region.
      Some features and permissions have limited support for some AWS regions. For more information, see AWS supported regions and limitations.

    Important
    Important
    • Agentless Vulnerability & Threat Detection and XDR for Cloud - AWS VPC Flow Logs are pre-release sub-features and are not part of the existing features of an official commercial or general release. Please review the Pre-release Sub-Feature Disclaimer before using the sub-features.
    • Cloud Response for AWS and Real-Time Posture Monitoring require XDR for Cloud - AWS CloudTrail to be enabled for your account.
    • As of November 2023, AWS private and freemium accounts only allow a maximum of 10 Lambda executions. Container Protection deployment requires at least 20 concurrent Lambda executions. Please verify your AWS account status before enabling this feature.
    • Only the features and permissions listed here support deployment to organization managed accounts. If you want to enable additional features and permissions on an account, you must connect the account individually before connecting the organization account.
    • Core Features: Connect your AWS account to Trend Vision One to discover your cloud assets and rapidly identify risks such as compliance and security best practice violations in your cloud infrastructure.
    • Agentless Vulnerability & Threat Detection: Deploy Agentless Vulnerability & Threat Detection in your AWS account to scan for vulnerabilities and malware in EBS volumes attached to EC2 instances, ECR images, and Lambda functions with zero impact to your applications.
      Click Scanner Configuration to choose the resource types to scan and whether to scan for vulnerabilities, malware, or both. Both are enabled by default. Three AWS resource types are currently supported: EBS (Elastic Block Store), ECR (Elastic Container Registry), and AWS Lambda.
    • Container Protection for Amazon ECS: Deploy Trend Vision One Container Security in your AWS account to protect your containers and container images in Elastic Container Service (ECS) environments. Trend Vision One Container Security uncovers threats and vulnerabilities, protects your runtime environment, and enforces deployment policies.
    • Cloud Response for AWS: Allow Trend Vision One permission to take response actions to contain incidents within your cloud account, such as revoking access for suspicious IAM users. Additional response actions leverage integration with third party ticketing systems.
    • Real-Time Posture Monitoring: Deploy Real-Time Posture Monitoring in your AWS account to provide live monitoring with instant alerts for activities and events within your cloud environment.
    • XDR for Cloud - AWS VPC Flow Logs: Enable VPC Flow Log Monitoring in your AWS account to collect your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) flow logs enabling Trend Vision One to gather insight into your VPC traffic, with detection models to identify and provide alerts on malicious IP traffic, SSH brute force attacks, data exfiltration, and more. Review VPC Flow Logs recommendations and requirements before enabling the feature.
      Select the AWS regions you want to deploy the feature to.
      Important
      Important
      XDR for Cloud only supports monitoring VPC Flow Logs version 5 or later. For more information, see VPC Flow Logs recommendations and requirements.
  8. Click Next.
  9. Launch the CloudFormation template in the AWS console.
    1. If you want to review the stack template before launching, click Download and Review Template.
    2. Click Launch Stack.
      The AWS management console opens in a new tab and displays the Quick Create Stack screen.
  10. In the AWS management console, complete the steps in the Quick Create Stack screen.
    1. If you want to use a name other than the default, specify a new Stack name.
    2. In the Parameters section, specify the following parameters: AWS Account ID or the Organizational Unit (OU) ID in the OrganizationID field.
      • OrganizationID: type in the AWS Account ID or the Organizational Unit (OU) ID of the organization account.
      • (Optional) OrganizationExcludedAccounts: type in the account IDs of any AWS account within the organization you want to exclude from the monitoring features within the stack.
        Use this parameter field to exclude accounts you do not want monitored, or for accounts you want to use a different feature configuration. You can connect excluded accounts to the Cloud Accounts app individually. Type accounts as a list separated by a comma (,) with no spacing. For example, 123456789012,345678901234
      Important
      Important
      The OrganizationExcludedAccounts parameter must only contain account IDs within the organization. Adding an account ID for an account that is not managed by the organization might cause the stack deployment to fail.
      Do not change any other settings in the Parameters section. CloudFormation automatically provides the settings for the parameters. Changing parameters might cause stack creation to fail.
    3. In the Capabilities section, select the following acknowledgments:
      • I acknowledge that AWS CloudFormation might create IAM resources with custom names.
      • I acknowledge that AWS CloudFormation might require the following capability: CAPABILITY_AUTO_EXPAND.
    4. Click Create Stack.
      The Stack details screen for the new stack appears with the Events tab displayed. Creation might take a few minutes. Click Refresh to check the progress.
  11. In the Trend Vision One console, click Done.
    The organization and associated member accounts appear in Cloud Accounts once the CloudFormation template deployment successfully completes. Refresh the screen to update the table.
