Policy tuning has improved cloud threat detection while rule creation still needs simplification
Bitdefender Security for AWS provides an agent-based solution that combines antivirus, endpoint detection and response and behavioral detection to reduce the risk of compromised production servers. One of the best features of Bitdefender Security for AWS is its protection for EC2 workloads. It offers centralized management from a single console, allowing users to manage policies, deployments, and visibility across all AWS platforms. This centralized approach simplifies administration and improves efficiency. The anti-malware and behavioral detection features are robust. For both Windows and Linux EC2 instances, Bitdefender provides strong detection capabilities against both known and unknown threats, helping to minimize false positives and accurately identify true positives. It also supports offloading scans to optimize performance. Bitdefender Security for AWS helps secure servers running in AWS while reducing CPU and I/O consumption. Managing physical servers is often more complex since it may require additional hardware, such as memory expansions or system extensions, to maintain performance. In contrast, AWS environments benefit from Bitdefender’s optimized performance, resulting in lower CPU and memory usage, as well as better handling of I/O loads. From a security standpoint, this solution allows for easier management even under high resource consumption. Because it operates within AWS, performance remains stable, making it a reliable and efficient choice for cloud-based security operations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The protection that it provides is valuable because the biggest problem that people and companies have been seeing in the last two or three years is scams and everything like that."
"The best features of Bitdefender Security for AWS are its EC2 workloads, called elastic compute cloud, which provide a solution from a single console to manage policy, deployment, and visibility across all platforms and across all AWS, so it was easy that way and it was good."
"Cuckoo Sandbox is very stable and reliable."
"The dynamic analysis feature in Cuckoo Sandbox is excellent compared to others."
"Cuckoo Sandbox is very stable and reliable."
"The scalability is an eight out of ten."
 

Cons

"I remember when they first pushed it to the DBM server, my backup server at the time, it caused a lot of issues because they were supposed to exclude all the folders that they were backing up to and had the storage. I got hold of the security group and asked them to uninstall it. We uninstalled it, ran a script, and then it fixed the problem."
"For a small industry, it will be fine, but when you are initiating Bitdefender Security for AWS in a large-scale environment, you need careful planning and tuning with policy tuning, and in a large scale, it will be difficult."
"I want the command to be quicker."
"Cuckoo Sandbox could improve its signature detection because it currently only shows simple file modifications and connections to different botnets."
"It lacks correlation with other types of information, such as explaining why a particular file was modified or identifying the specific process responsible."
"The only issue is with the installation, which requires some adjustments."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It was included in the account that we had. We didn't have to pay for it."
"We have to pay five to ten thousand dollars for this solution."
