Information Security Engineer at DataVigilant Infotech
Enables us to prioritize and effectively address critical security issues
Evidence-based reporting helps us to prioritize and solve critical security issues. The new visualization feature demonstrates how an attacker can enter the system, highlighting the potential path that can be exploited and outlining all the steps the attacker could take. With that visibility, we can ensure the perimeter is strong and attackers cannot enter, thus reducing the risk. It has helped us prioritize issues. The visibility into how an attack could happen is valuable. For example, it highlights the system vulnerability and outlines where an attack could propagate. The visualization helps me to prioritize remediation, and if I don't know where to start, I can check to see the score that enables me to prioritize issues. I am using infrastructure-as-code scanning, and it's one of the useful features. In pre-production, it identifies embedded secrets and misconfigurations, including issues with Kubernetes or some privileged containers. This feature allows us to pass the audit and secure IaC code so that it isn't easily exploitable by attackers. We can more proactively work to identify and resolve vulnerabilities by using the dashboard and the alerting system that SentinelOne provides. It helps us with audits and compliance. We can show the compliance in percentage. We can confidently say that our company or infrastructure is very secure. It has improved our security posture by 30% to 35%. It has reduced our false positives by 30%. It has helped teams collaborate better. The security team manages SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, and when it flags vulnerabilities, they are forwarded to DevOps for remediation. Previously, we needed to identify and report the issues, but there would be lapses in communication. Now, there is a centralized dashboard that anyone can look at and see the open issues and work on them.

Provides centralized visibility and real-time threat detection across multiple cloud accounts
Regarding how CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security can be improved, I would say they can improve their support. There were a couple of cases where we needed to escalate issues in order to get proper support. That part could use some tweaking on their end. Additionally, the recent incident during the last summer literally impacted our systems. We had some of our workloads that affected the business, and it was a difficult experience. Apart from that, it is a good tool and the experience with CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security has been excellent. We did not find any kind of issues, but if they could improve their response to security-related incidents and provide on-time support or better understand our concerns and address them accordingly, it could be very helpful. Regarding needed improvements, I think they should enhance automatic alerting with CI/CD scanning and reporting capabilities. Additionally, it would be better to implement Falcon sensor health monitoring so agents are always active. We could know how it is behaving and how it is treating our environment. That could be a little helpful.

Has reduced investigation time by correlating application and infrastructure events
Sweet Security has room for improvement in two areas. One is for robust integration with automations and playbooks. We have our internally developed platform that operates around security incident playbooks, so the connection between those two systems would be great. The option to run specific playbooks through the Sweet Security platform would help us a lot, but these must be fully customizable. We prefer not to block the business from progressing unless we are fully sure that it is an incident. Most of the actions I would take would revolve around containment or notification on a specific platform and not via email or similar communications. The second area is around the code perspective. I know it's just the start of a long journey that Sweet Security is going to go through to become a platform that also handles code, but I would expect options for a complete analysis and writing policies for infrastructure as code. The next great thing that Sweet Security can do is to turn toward IAC, how it is handled and enforced, to tackle potential breaches of policy before they really happen.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's graph explorer is a valuable tool that lets us visualize all connected services."
"The most valuable aspects of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security are its alerting system and the remediation guidance it provides."
"I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security a ten out of ten."
"We like the platform and its response time. We also like that its console is user-friendly as well as modern and sleek."
"Cloud Native Security's most valuable features include cloud misconfiguration detection and remediation, compliance monitoring, a robust authentication security engine, and cloud threat detection and response capabilities."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security improved our risk posture significantly, helped reduce our mean time to detect and mean time to remediate, and enabled collaboration across cloud security, development, and AppSec teams, saving engineering time by approximately three to four hours."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's integration is smooth. They are highly customer-oriented, and the integration went well for us."
"Overall, I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security a ten out of ten."
"The threat detection capability of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security has always been the major seller, and it works effectively."
"The immediate mitigation of potential threats and instant alerts are valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Falcon Cloud Security is its comprehensive threat-hunting ability."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is user-friendly and provides detection transparency, allowing us to present real-time documentation to our executives clearly explaining any detected issues."
"I find the easy installation process, quick detection capabilities, and the cloud-based console very useful for this solution."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security has nearly saved us some amount, though I am not exactly sure of the numbers since the sales team handles the financial side, and what we have gained from CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is that EC2 downtime has been prevented and time has been saved considerably, around eight to ten hours per week through automatic onboarding and centralized visibility."
"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 features are the real-time response, which allows me to log into a machine to pull files and check signatures for malicious activities, and the ability to restrict USB block storage usage on endpoints by policy."
"The value of having real-time visibility in our cloud environment with Sweet Security changes everything because it differentiates between identifying and reacting to something that is not really a risk and something that is truly a risk that needs to be treated."
"Before we had Sweet Security, upon any type of detection of activity, we needed to conduct lots of investigations in different platforms and logs until we could build the larger picture, but once we inserted Sweet Security, we are able to actually see each and every request being made from the application level towards the infrastructure, making it much easier and reducing the time for an analyst to understand what's really happening."
"The value we see from having real-time visibility into our cloud environment is significant, as Sweet Security serves as our eyes and ears inside AWS, telling us what we are doing wrong so we can fix it."
 

Cons

"The documentation could be better."
"We use SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security and also SentinelOne. If SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security integrated some of the endpoint security features of SentinelOne, it would be the perfect one-stop solution for everything. We wouldn't need to switch between the products. At my organization, I am responsible for endpoint security and vulnerability management. Integrating both functions into one application would be ideal because I could see all the alerts, heat maps, and reports in one console."
"I'd like to see better onboarding documentation."
"Some of the navigation and some aspects of the portal may be a little bit confusing."
"The reporting works well, but sometimes the severity classifications are inaccurate. Sometimes, it flags an issue as high-impact, but it should be a lower severity."
"The area of improvement is the cost, which is high compared to other traditional endpoint protections."
"The areas with room for improvement include the cost, which is higher compared to other security platforms. The dashboard can also be laggy."
"The cloud-based operations might pose challenges in areas with limited or unavailable internet connectivity. Desktop features might be useful for smaller organizations with less complex security needs."
"The CrowdStrike dashboard currently lacks a username field."
"I would not say the tool's integration capabilities were straightforward because the complexity depends on the volume of the data."
"It would be more convenient if there was an easier way to install CrowdStrike, perhaps through better integration with Active Directory."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is expensive."
"The CrowdStrike partner portal documentation could be improved to provide proper instructions for integrating their products."
"The main area for improvement is pricing, as it is quite expensive."
"The user interface needs improvement as it's sometimes difficult to locate specific dashboards or reports."
"The pricing is very high and should be improved."
"There was something a year ago that caused a production issue in my company, but they fixed it within an hour."
"The option to run specific playbooks through Sweet Security platform would help us a lot, but these must be fully customizable."
"One area for improvement could be the alerts, as we have an issue with the alert time, the time it takes for the system to send the alert, but besides that, there is nothing special."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
