Automated cloud security has protected web apps and APIs while enforcing least privilege access
The best features of Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules include core features that extend protection specific to CMS platforms such as WordPress and Joomla or framework exploits. These rules are regularly updated against the latest CVEs, botnets, and malware without requiring human intervention. I can specify the range in the system and it will update against the latest botnets or malware without requiring any human intervention. It also includes a specialized rule set which mitigates threats targeting web applications, APIs, and serverless environments. Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules help in managing vulnerabilities such as SQL injections and XSS by modeling user and device behavior across the entire cloud estate. If an admin suddenly logs in from a suspicious location or a script makes unusual API calls, Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules instantly isolates the resource or flags it for review. When a particular threat is recognized, Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules bypasses the need for human intervention to execute defensive actions such as changing firewall modes, blocking malicious IP addresses, or revoking compromised credentials. I have CI/CD deployment pipelines which are assigned strict scoping to IAM roles, so these roles have the precise permissions required to push updates to Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules via infrastructure as code. This ensures that every deployment is pre-validated and consistent with the organization's security policies. I assess the impact of continuous updates provided by threat intelligence as significant because I have set a particular number of alerts. Whenever I see that this alert is triggered, I conduct monitoring. Based on the manage rules defined in AWS and whatever protocol enforcement exists, my model detects and blocks unauthorized access which deviates from standard HTTPS or other standard protocols, and it mitigates sophisticated bot and malware attacks. API gateway or serverless stage is specifically tuned to block API security and serverless threats. These rules can be natively deployed in front of CloudFront or application load balancer and API gateway. For enhanced operational control, these managed rules are commonly paired with WAF-Champ or automated WAF operation service which helps to manage exception and false positive rates. The detailed logs and analytics from Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules help when it comes to making informed security decisions, and it totally depends on the decisions and what logs are needed. As long as I have defined all logs related to sign-in logs and audit logs, based on the logs, I decide whether to go with those alerts or whether to minimize that security risk and where to focus.

Phishing awareness campaigns have improved training impact but still need smarter automation
I think Gophish could be improved with more automation, for instance. It is great that you can create templates, schedule them, and do everything you want in Gophish, but it would be nice to have a small integrated AI model with which you could create email templates and phishing templates. It would be nice if Gophish implemented artificial intelligence. I wish Gophish could provide more support and be more advanced and that they continue developing it because it seems that Gophish does not get many updates, and I think they need to implement more features. It is great because it is free, but it needs more features. It would be cool if there was an artificial intelligence model that could create phishing campaigns or templates or email templates for you integrated within Gophish. I would rate it a seven. It is quite good and free software, but it needs more substance. It also depends on the number of clients a company has; it may be necessary to launch Gophish in a staggered way, which I also think is a drawback Gophish has. The issue is that if there are many people being targeted, for example, 5,000 employees in a company and you send 5,000, it may be that sending so many messages gets blocked by the security systems companies have. I think that Gophish could also improve the message sending flows. I gave it a seven because there are things to improve and it is not perfect. As I said before, it would be nice if templates could be created with AI, integrated into Gophish using an API with Gemini or ChatGPT or whichever, but the point is that it would be nice if the sending flows at large scale were better managed. When you send a phishing campaign to 5,000 people, you have to send it in sections in a staggered way, for example: to these 5,000 people it is going to be sent between eight in the morning and four in the afternoon. If you send them all at once, the phishing may get blocked and then the campaign has no effect. I would like it if Gophish implemented more improvements because they are needed, as it is kind of a bit stagnant. I hope that in the future they add more improvements including creating personalized templates with artificial intelligence and improving the message sending flows.

"Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules has positively impacted our organization because we are a tech company, so we always prefer to get security first."

"The detailed logs and analytics from Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules help when it comes to making informed security decisions, and it totally depends on the decisions and what logs are needed."
"Gophish is one of the easiest tools that I can see available online, and a significant advantage is that it is free of cost and open source."
"My advice to other professionals who are considering using Gophish is that it is a platform for people who are just starting out and do not have the resources and also do not have knowledge."
"Gophish has had a positive impact on my organization, as I noticed that since I used Gophish for the benefit of several clients, the maturity level of my clients was increasing."

"Gophish has positively impacted my organization by increasing awareness among my employees."
 

Cons

"Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules can be improved by automating the responses, enhancing visibility, providing deeper insights, integrating with DevOps and SecOps, and facilitating real-time analysis."
"Regarding pricing, setup cost, and licensing, I find it a bit more expensive."
"Sometimes, there is over-blocking within the cloud managed rules where valid requests or IPs could be blocked, which should be fine-tuned to reduce over-blocking."
"I would describe the customer support for Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules as pretty average. They provide a link and then disappear, so I have to do my own research."
"Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules has a very high rate of false positives."
"Sometimes false positives do come across, and we have incidents where people who are actually trying to access are getting blocked out, which is how I think Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules can be improved."
"This product requires skilled people because there is a lot of automation needed to understand all the features in the dashboard."
"The improvement I want to be made to Gophish is at the DNS level."
"I believe Gophish can be improved by adding new features based on attack types in the future, particularly for new zero-day attacks, and incorporating AI-based tools to enhance analyzing and automation."
"Gophish can be improved in that it is an open-source solution and there is a bottleneck issue related to sending emails."
"Gophish is stable, but I find KnowBe4 to be better."
"When I send to more than 300 recipients, I am forced to split it into several sends because the tool doesn't behave effectively and freezes."
"It does not handle lists well either, so when you have a big list of email addresses or users, it crashes, perhaps in the sending of the emails or somewhere else, but it crashes."
"I think Gophish could be improved with a user-level function, meaning if the person is strong or weak, we send more or fewer awareness emails, and rely on real attacks in order to be able to create a template by itself."
"Currently, we do not think Gophish requires much improvement other than a better graphical user interface."
