CIS hardening has simplified secure container workloads but AppArmor still blocks Docker by default
The CIS L1 AppArmor enforcement breaks Docker out of the box. Containers fail to start with a permission denied on the containerd task directory. There is no documentation about this. A simple note explaining that Docker users need to either update the runc AppArmor profile or disable it would save a lot of debugging time. It takes a while to trace the failure back to AppArmor blocking runc writes to /run/containerd/.

Automation has transformed incident response and case management has boosted daily productivity
TheHive is actually quite beautiful and very optimized. If I had to improve anything, I would say that it could improve costing. TheHive is pretty expensive right now. With a low number of users, it works for how the business runs, but I feel that it is pretty expensive when you want to go for the commercial versions, which is where people might not want to go with it. Cost is the only downside, but it is the major downside. I would like to share an incident with you about a recent meeting I had with a client regarding TheHive. The only trigger that they had not to go with TheHive was the cost. Everything looked very good and was very fine, but the costing part was hard. The costing part was something that made them hold off on TheHive and choose a different solution. Over the years, TheHive has improved significantly in how the platform is used and how cases are managed. One good feature that I appreciated when I moved from TheHive 4 to TheHive 5 was the dark mode. When Strange Bee did the rebranding and made it a closed-source product, they added the dark mode feature, which I need because I am not good with light screens. TheHive was the only tool having only white mode capabilities. Once they added it, they have improved a lot. Many connectors are added, and many more integrations are possible now with TheHive. Basically, the appearance, performance, and integrations have improved a lot over the years.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"ClearScale Ubuntu 26.04 LTS is an excellent choice for organizations adopting cloud-native technologies and modern DevOps practices."
"Once you get that launch template dialed in, the image is incredibly solid."
"The same-day engineering support has been very valuable."
"The pre-applied CIS L1 benchmark is the main selling point, as getting a hardened baseline without manual effort is genuinely useful and the Ubuntu 26.04 LTS base also means I'm on a supported, up-to-date kernel with long-term security patches."
"The hourly software charge is small relative to the engineering time we used to spend building and maintaining our own hardened AMI."
"TheHive has positively impacted my organization because before that, we did not have a good solution to register the tickets."
"The people at TheHive have made it very customizable, flexible, and very security-centric, as they understand what a particular incident responder or security team needs and provide it quite well."
"TheHive has positively impacted our organization because it is a free solution."
 

Cons

"It'd be cool to have more detailed changelogs with each new release so we can see exactly what packages got updated without having to boot up a test instance and diff it ourselves."
"Enterprise management and compliance tooling could be more comprehensive out of the box."
"The CIS L1 AppArmor enforcement breaks Docker out of the box."
"Because the firewall ships default-deny, the first launch in a new environment takes a little planning to open the exact ports the app and load balancer health checks need."
"TheHive can be improved because if you want to use it in a small or medium company, it will be really good, but for a really huge company like mine was, I believe that at least on the free version, you will have big issues regarding performance because the solution is not built for a huge company like mine was."
"I would rate it a seven because I think the design could be better in TheHive."
"Cost is the only downside, but it is the major downside."
