Use Cases and Deployment Scope

For our product security and data privacy is very critical. We needed to have a check on all aspects of vulnerability in system. Our in-house team was not that much expert to check for all the critical security aspects of the product. We wanted something managed and takes care of our security. For us AWS Security Hub has been very helpful solution to take care of our secuity issues.

Pros

Compliance Checks - We required a PCIDSS compliant cloud server and AWS had it already ready to use which reduced our go to market time.
It also gave us good recommendations about if we have configured our security groups incorrectly then it allowed us to fix this.
Multi-region security hub on one dashboard

Cons

Detailed reporting can be improved to help fixing issues and better root cause analysis.
Account setting up for new users in security groups is little complicated could have been a simple onboarding process.
The ready to use compliant friendly resources are there but they don't allow much customisation.

Likelihood to Recommend

Where you have a need for automated compliance checks for you deployed server its very helpful and reliable. But you want a customisation's and that also very much for your compliant friendly test, these automations can be very tricky and require a lot of documentation reading to understand things. Also AWS Security Hub doesn't much give good support with third party integrations its more of AWS focused.

Return on Investment

The automated compliance test helped us a lot to get PCIDSS certified so it was a very good return for our investments.
Some third party tools we were using were not available for AWS Security Hub automated testing.
Easy to configure for faster security automations but if we need detailed reports we should add more tools.

Usability

AWS always good with usability and same here for AWS Security Hub. A lot of good documentation is available to read and configure your own. We also started with looking at the videos and documentation to configure automation for our compliance checks. And to configure there are very less steps to be followed which is a very good thing for faster configuration.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

All software, regardless of what it is would benefits from strong security checks. AWS Security Hub does a great job at this for being a cloud security management service that have many outstanding features such as best practice checks, alerts for aggregation, and automated remedies where they see fit in your program.

Pros

Monitoring Malware and DDos attack
Strong technical support
Easy to integrate with AWS cloud

Cons

Very expensive. You would need a large budget for this
Improved dashboard that have better alerts
Required team to mitigate issue as a lot of notification will appear overtime and clog up the monitoring page

Likelihood to Recommend

AWS Security Hub is mainly for protecting your software, video games, web application, etc... from external digital threats. This is a must for all software out there that can afford it. This also require a decent amount of resources to mitigate problems so that the monitoring page isn't overloaded. So overall, a large amount of budget and manpower is required to maintain this product.

Most Important Features

Great at detecting DDOS & malware attack
Good monitoring GUI
Integration with AWS cloud

Return on Investment

Huge cost ($$$)
Lot of manpower required to mitigate issues
Great at security issue detection to prevent future lawsuits

Alternatives Considered

AWS Security Hub is it's own unique program that I have used. I haven't used anything similar to it and it was worth it to try out. However, for those that want to keep for long, it will be very heavy in term of budget and resource that they have to provide.

Very useful and much needed for ensuring your AWS Cloud's Security & Monitoring

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

AWS Security Hub has helped us improve security posture and reduce the risk of security breaches. The tools have helped with security visibility, compliance, threat detection, and incident response. AWS Security Hub provides a centralized view of our organization's security posture across their AWS environment, making it easier to identify potential security threats and vulnerabilities.

Pros

Security Visibility is very good
Integrates seamlessly with AWS Cloud
Early Threat Detection
Incident Response Management

Cons

Reporting Dashboard could be better
More Help Content would have been better
Tool could be made easier

Likelihood to Recommend

Security visibility: provides a centralized view of an organization's security posture across AWS environment, making it easier to identify potential security threats and vulnerabilities
Compliance: integrates with a range of AWS services and third-party security solutions, making it easier to comply with various security standards and regulations.
Threat detection: uses machine learning algorithms to analyze data from various sources, such as AWS CloudTrail and Amazon GuardDuty, to identify potential security threats.
Incident response: provides tools and features that help quickly and efficiently respond to security incidents, such as the ability to create and manage security playbooks.

Most Important Features

Incident Response
Early Threat Detection

Return on Investment

Helped identify potential issues early on
Avoided any downtimes for our customers
Better visibility of Security

AWS Security Hub is an excellent security event aggregator not only for AWS services but also third party tools.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use AWS security hub to gain visibility into our high priority security events. We configure it for alerting on certain high risk activity from services like IAM, AWS Firewall Manager and AWS GuarDuty and also use it to check our existing AWS footprint against industry security standards like PCI, GLBA and others in or der to ensure we are compliant.

Pros

Alerting
Aggregation, organization and prioritization of security alerts and events
Third party integration

Cons

Not easy to read past data, especially once it moves into Glacier deep storage
performance is somewhat sluggish ... other systems are much faster to analyze data
Doesn't always provide a remediation solution or suggested fix like other 3rd party tools like Qualys.
It's hard to get the initial configuration and enrollment completed as there's a lot of manual intervention for every configured rule that needs to be enabled
alerts are often times delayed

Likelihood to Recommend

I don't think there's yet a perfect tool in this category of security and incident aggregators, but AWS Security Hub is an excellent tool for having visibility into our overall security posture. It is a great aggregator for many AWS services but also for third party security tools with which it integrates really well.

Most Important Features

Accuracy ! Once rules are properly defined there are very few false positives
Ease of identifying trends
Technical support is excellent

Return on Investment

It helps to keep us compliant, which is a requirement in the financial industry
We have maintained a high security posture with the help of AWS Security Hub, without any security incidents.
I wouldn't say this is necessarily ROI but we have prevented potential data losses, brand damage and the financial cost of the aforementioned with the help of AWS Security Hub.

Alternatives Considered

Splunk Enterprise, Splunk Enterprise Security (ES), Splunk Log Observer and Dynatrace

AWS stacks up very similarly to Splunk but being that it's an AWS tool it is better able to natively monitor our AWS footprint, unlike splunk which requires an appliance and / or forwarding agent for it to work properly. The same can be said about some other tools like Dynatrace. Dynatrace has a much more pleasant user interface that the senior management seems to like more, but AWS Security Hub has better options, a more straightforward rules engine and is less expensive than both Splunk and Dynatrace.

Other Software Used

Splunk Enterprise, Dynatrace, Splunk Enterprise Security (ES), Sectigo Certificate Manager, ManageEngine Endpoint Central, Palo Alto Panorama, Cisco Secure Workload (Tetration)

We have implemented AWS Security Hub in our AWS Cloud across the whole organization in order to perform security checks and trigger alerts when any requirement is not as expected. As we have everything in AWS environment it was really easy to integrate and we are using all the features provided by this tool.

Pros

Integration
Alers

Cons

Documentation

Likelihood to Recommend

If you are looking for a tool to check if you have any security issues and then trigger alerts based on that, AWS Security Hub is for you if you are using AWS Cloud this solution becomes even better once it's also provided by AWS and easily to setup and start taking the advantages of it.
