Ensure run-time security is enforced for build workers
Description
Add traces to build workers' operating systems and installed applications so that in run time, collected events can be analyzed to detect suspicious behavior patterns and malware. Build workers are exposed to data exfiltration attacks, code injection attacks, and more while running. It is important to secure them from such attacks by enforcing run-time security on the build worker itself. Reported as a manual review item: no reliable read-only gh api check exists for this control.
How it is checked
Audit method: Manual review
This recommendation cannot be checked automatically. A scan lists it with these instructions when you pass --include-manual.
Verify that a run-time security solution is enforced on every active build worker. Expected state: Deploy and enforce a run-time security solution on build workers.
How it is fixed
Fix method: Guidance or infrastructure patch
Deploy and enforce a run-time security solution on build workers.
