Has helped identify misconfigurations and prioritize risks but lacks multi-cloud support and deeper integration features

AWS Security Hub cannot scale up to multiple different cloud environments; it only works for AWS. There are other products in the market for CSPM that can give you multi-cloud environment misconfigurations, even Microsoft for that matter. Regarding the integration of AWS Security Hub with third-party tools, I am not certain whether we can integrate them, but there is no need to do so. However, AWS Security Hub cannot integrate with other cloud providers, so it only supports the AWS environment. The compliance checks within AWS Security Hub are good, but we don't use them much. We utilize compliance frameworks such as CIS compliance frameworks and ISO 27017 framework, which are beneficial, but it can improve in other areas too, such as including NIST and other frameworks beyond just ISO and CIS. Improvements can be applicable for scalability, particularly on integration with multi-cloud environments, and compliance frameworks can be added for more variety as well. The unified dashboard in AWS Security Hub is adequate; I cannot say it is exceptional, but the content available in the dashboards is satisfactory for now.

Has improved threat detection accuracy and helped monitor endpoints across hybrid environments

The most valuable capabilities of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security relate to preventing attacks caused by human error, such as when someone plugs in a USB device or downloads something without caution. It automatically blocks duplication and activities that could result in data loss, effectively preventing unintended copying of data to personal devices. Deduplication prevention is definitely the most valuable feature. CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security excels in threat detection with a vast investigation structure, allowing us to verify suspicious activities to identify root causes. It helps us trace back to the origin and fix issues, making it a user-friendly tool for this kind of detection. CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is built on AI and ML technology, enabling it to detect various threats and block suspicious activities immediately, which is particularly effective compared to traditional AVs and EDRs. The analytics provided by CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is key for maintaining a proactive security posture. Its AI and ML foundations offer extensive information on threats and suspicious activities, making it renowned for analysis in the industry.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The advantage is that it is cloud-native, and we do not need to install agents or sensors to find findings."

"AWS Security Hub can check your infrastructure against multiple compliance frameworks. You can turn on or off specific frameworks based on your needs."

"I rate Security Hub ten out of ten for stability."

"The most valuable feature of AWS Security Hub is the ability to track when monitoring is not enabled on any of my resources."

"I like that AWS Security Hub currently has several good features, around four or five. The technical support for AWS Security Hub is also responsive."

"AWS Security Hub has very good integration features. It allows for AWS native services integration, and it helps us to integrate some of the services outside of AWS. They have partners, such as Amazon Preferred Network Partners (APN). If you have different security tools around APN, we can integrate those findings with AWS Security Hub reducing the need to refer to different portals or different UIs. You can have AWS Security Hub act as a single common go-to dashboard."

"The best feature of AWS Security Hub is that you can get compliance or your cloud's current security posture."

"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is easy to manage...It is a scalable solution."

More AWS Security Hub pros

"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is user-friendly."

"There is a lot that it can do, but endpoint protection is the main thing about it. The fact that it uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to monitor and remediate the issues in real-time is probably the bread and butter of the product."

"The threat detection capability of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security has always been the major seller, and it works effectively."

"Falcon is a cloud-based technology, so its resource usage is light. You deploy the agents to your endpoints, but the processing is done on the cloud, so you're CPU utilization is only about 2 percent. Some others solutions use between 30 to 60 percent."

"The most valuable feature of Falcon Cloud Security is its comprehensive threat-hunting ability."

"The initial setup is easy ."

"The most valuable feature is the auto-detection capability for threat hunting and issuing advisories on remedies."

"I have contacted customer service, and they are fast."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security pros

Cons

"The solution lacks self-sufficiency."

"It's not user-friendly. Too much going on, too many unnecessary findings, not very visual. You can't do much compared to other similar tools that are cheaper and better."

"We need more granular-level customizations to enable or disable the rules in AWS Security Hub."

"There is room for improvement in implementing AI capabilities."

"From an improvement perspective, there is a need to add more compliance since, right now, AWS Security Hub only provides four to five compliances to control the tool."

"Security Hub is currently not worth investing in, as it requires more configurations and integration with other services to work effectively."

"The support must be quicker."

"Security Hub is currently not worth investing in, as it requires more configurations and integration with other services to work effectively."

More AWS Security Hub cons

"The tool could give us more templates so that people who are not updated with the platform can easily get acquainted with how to secure and utilize the product more."

"For the past six months, we have been facing some issues. Because it is a cloud-based infrastructure, it has been getting slower."

"The tool is expensive."

"There should be cloud storage scanning. We would like to have cloud storage vulnerability and threat management on any cloud storage."

"The pricing is very high and should be improved."

"The SIEM needs to be more developed."

"The CrowdStrike partner portal documentation could be improved to provide proper instructions for integrating their products."

"In terms of improvement, CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security could expand into the remediation path."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AWS Security Hub's pricing is pretty reasonable."

"The price of the solution is not very competitive but it is reasonable."

"Security Hub is not an expensive solution."

"The cost is based on the number of compliances, core checks, and services required, and for more than 10,000 recommendations, the charge is just one dollar."

"The pricing is fine. It is not an expensive tool."

"AWS Security Hub is not an expensive tool. I would consider it to be a cheap solution. AWS Security Hub follows the PAYG pricing model, meaning you will have to pay for whatever you use."

"The price of AWS Security Hub is average compared to other solutions."

"There are multiple subscription models, like yearly, monthly, and packaged."

"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is pricy."

"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is very expensive for us. Last month, we had a big issue that took much time and money to resolve. It slowed down our business and required our management team to get involved. We had a problem similar to the "Blue Screen of Death" issue many US companies faced. This incident used up many of our IT resources in just a few months. That's why we're looking for a replacement tool now."

"It's an expensive package but does what it says it will do."

"The pricing is reasonable, neither overly expensive nor excessively cheap, making it competitive compared to other market options."

"The pricing is fair for what you get. I'd rate them a solid nine out of ten in terms of pricing."

"It is expensive, but it adds value."

"The price is not too high, it is okay."

"CrowdStrike Falcon is very expensive."

Cybereason vs. Interset vs. SQRRL

Capture DB - they all use NoSQL db and hence solve the ad hoc query and 'go back in time' problem with current best of breed SIEM and DLP solutions that rely on real time analysis of incoming logs (and don't store them). This means deeper and quicker iterative threat analysis and assessment…
