Dow Jones has created an open-source cybersecurity tool that scans for weaknesses on AWS (the Amazon Web Service) cloud platform. The Hammer tool can also fix some vulnerabilities automatically. Platforms such as the Amazon Web Service are increasingly used by companies, but some businesses overlook security configurations for all the data they store. Hammer scans for security weaknesses and alerts a security professional at the respective firm if it finds a vulnerability. If they do not respond, the tool then refigures privacy settings so only certain IP addresses have permission to access the stored data.
