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.

Centralized insights have improved vulnerability tracking and simplified cross-tool comparisons
The best features The Nagomi Proactive Defense Platform offers is the ability to compare each tool. For example, both Tenable and Cortex provide security protection. In scenarios where we did not deploy Cortex XDR to some devices, we can identify this through The Nagomi Proactive Defense Platform because it compares data with the Tenable side. This allows us to perform cross-checking between Tenable and Cortex. If we miss Cortex deployment for end devices, that endpoint could be vulnerable to our cloud applications, so this capability is invaluable. The main feature is the ability to check vulnerabilities. Beyond that, we can cross-check any misconfiguration and missing configuration, such as Cortex missing or Tenable vulnerability management missing on end devices. The Nagomi Proactive Defense Platform shows us a summary of vulnerabilities, which gives us an idea about the security posture of our entire environment. Based on this information, we can decide what security gaps exist on our network and provide solutions to fix these vulnerability gaps. For example, some end devices may not be updated. The Nagomi Proactive Defense Platform checks all summaries and provides a list of assets that are not updated. It gives a complete list by CVE of all devices that are not updated, which we can then provide to our team for remediation. We can request that they upgrade applications such as Google Chrome across all devices.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Very good at detection and providing real-time alerts."
"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."
"AWS Security Hub can check your infrastructure against multiple compliance frameworks. You can turn on or off specific frameworks based on your needs."
"It's a security posture management tool from AWS. Basically, it identifies misconfigurations, similar to Trusted Advisor but on a larger scale."
"The advantage is that it is cloud-native, and we do not need to install agents or sensors to find findings."
"The most beneficial aspect of Security Hub is its proactive capability, allowing us to identify potential security issues before they escalate."
"Currently, our organization utilizes AWS for various purposes, including SaaS (Software as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), and hosting applications in the cloud. We develop our applications and use AWS services as a platform for basic functions and secondary development needs. Additionally, we rely on PaaS for accounting services. Approximately, 50% of our applications are hosted in the cloud environment, making it a significant part of our current setup."
"One of the most effective features of AWS Security Hub is the easy access to a dashboard with a ready-to-use security score."
"The Nagomi Proactive Defense Platform allows us to save our time and protect our system and network."
 

Cons

"AWS Security Hub cannot scale up to multiple different cloud environments; it only works for AWS."
"Security Hub is currently not worth investing in, as it requires more configurations and integration with other services to work effectively."
"There is room for improvement in implementing AI capabilities."
"There is room for improvement in implementing AI capabilities. It would be beneficial for Security Hub to implement preventative measures and to directly apply recommendations instead of just suggesting them."
"The user interface, graphs, and dashboards of the solution could improve in the future. They are not very sophisticated and could use an update."
"I would like a more fine-grained capability for creating custom rules and a more user-friendly experience programmatically in writing queries and configuring custom security rules, making it quicker and easier."
"Adding SIEM features would be beneficial because of the limited customization of AWS Security Hub."
"AWS Security Hub should improve the time it takes to update. It takes a long period of time when updating. It can take 24 hours sometimes to update. Additionally, when integrating this solution with more security tools, takes time."
"My main concern is that The Nagomi Proactive Defense Platform would be better if it were more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Security Hub is not an expensive solution."
"The price of the solution is not very competitive but it is reasonable."
"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."
"There are multiple subscription models, like yearly, monthly, and packaged."
"The pricing is fine. It is not an expensive tool."
"The price of AWS Security Hub is average compared to other solutions."
"AWS Security Hub's pricing is pretty reasonable."

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…
