What do you like best about AWS Cloud Security: Security, Identity and Compliance?

Monitoring is one part which is very essentials eg, VPC flow logs, s3 logs, API logs, system logs with aggregators etc . But analysing the logs as centralized hub , security hub provides the context. Along side coming to compliance , macie with its AI ML models , able to identify PII in S3. More that these, custome logs can also be formatter into ASAF using services like Lamba intervined. Which threat own threat intelligence capablitiy and custom integration to SIEM solution offers visibility across the environment. Apart from service, aws provides a lot of resources for industary standards and that keeps us upto date and skilled. Support is alwasys a second option , as I get everything from easy documented materials. Day to day getting used, gave a clear explames of scenarios where I can act upon a breach or an event with the available service. which helped me to understand the risks and what security controls are needed.

AWS WAF has feature to use third party mannaged WAF rules, because which we can incorporate third party mannaged rules by key players in industry like F5, Imperva, Cloudflare. This reduses possibility of buying third party products and fully relly on AWS native WAFs. AWS Certificate manager helps us to create, manage & store custom SSL certificates of all our applications. AWS KMS gives liberty to save, create, import custom encryption key in symmetric or assymetric way that too in same or cross account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Products used within AWS Cloud Security: Security, Identity and Compliance: Amazon Inspector, AWS Security Hub
What do you like best about AWS Cloud Security: Security, Identity and Compliance?

AWS provides a brief control over the infrastructure security, but two features i like the most are

1. AWS Security Hib.

Its a CSPM (Cloud Security Posture Management) solution for AWS that provides automated & continuous best practices security check on AWS resources.

2.AWS Amazon Inspector

It check the cloud apps & identify the vulnerabilities like Remote Code Execution, XSS and SQLi.

3. very good customer support

AWS customer support is very good for the customer handholding.

These features makes AWS one of the most secure cloud service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud Security: Security, Identity and Compliance?

AWS cloud service has very good security features but the admin has to be well-versed with these advanced features to configure them properly and get the benefit. e.g. If S3 bucket or AMI are inappropriately configured they can make unauthorized users to access the critical org resources. A properly trained & certified admin should be assigned to configure the security features carefully. Complexity is enemy of security & trained resource is the key to avoid this threat. Ease of implementation and ease of use are the features that should be improved although a very good customer support makes this easier for new customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS Cloud Security: Security, Identity and Compliance solving and how is that benefiting you?

AWS security hub & AWS AMazon inspector are very good features that helps to improve the cloud applications safe & secure. Mostly legacy cloud apps have different kind of vulnerabilities but AWS security hub & AWS Inspector helps to identify the vulnerabilities in apps & AWS WAF helps to protect apps from known vulnerabilities until they are fized by relevant app teams. So the legacy apps could also be published with confidence with AWS security platform feaures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon Inspector?

I like how it's easy to set up and there is no need to educate a person to set Amazon Inspector up because it does not require much of the instructions. The documentation is very extensive and there is no additional purpose to look for any other alternatives. Amazon Inspector just does its job the way it is supposed to! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Inspector?

There are possible only two things that I can find that leave me little bit concerned about the service. Firstly, first thing which I am not particularly a fan of is lack of some of the custom protection. I would like to see more on that. Secondly, billing for Amazon Inspector is a little bit tricky when you set it up to work with other services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Amazon Inspector:

There are other alternatives to Amazon Inspector. People tend to use Amazon Shield or Amazon WAF for the same purpose as Amazon Inspector. But I definitely suggest to get to know your use cases per each of Amazon services to make a conscious choice regarding any protection. There is definitely a great value in combining using services. For any of DDoS protection I recommend using Amazon Shield and Amazon WAF. For setting up your architecture right, Amazon Inspector is a great choice along with Amazon Trusted Advisor.
