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.

Has required significant customization but has supported threat pattern discovery and AI-driven analytics
The integration of Google Chronicle Suite with existing SIEM systems needs to be more mature, so some customization is required. With custom applications, it's quite difficult, and they need to work on this. The automated threat detection features in Google Chronicle Suite come with a lot of false positives and noise. They are new to the market and need to improve significantly. Customization is vital where users can customize the alerts, dashboard, or content as per their needs. This is more required in Google Chronicle Suite, allowing analysts or engineers to create according to the organization. They need to provide cheaper options for online versus offline log storage and improve retention and compression of the logs. Especially searching offline logs is a feature missing from most SIEM solutions nowadays.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The advantage is that it is cloud-native, and we do not need to install agents or sensors to find findings."
"It's a security posture management tool from AWS. Basically, it identifies misconfigurations, similar to Trusted Advisor but on a larger scale."
"Easily integrates with third-party tools"
"Within AWS Security Hub, there is a feature for aggregating and prioritizing security findings which allows for better risk prioritization based on misconfiguration, as they know AWS thoroughly."
"AWS Security Hub's unified dashboard does help streamline my process of identifying vulnerabilities, but we don't use Inspector."
"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 platform has valuable features for security."
"Cloudposse is a valuable feature as it guarantees my security."
"The dashboards are clean and clearly written, making it easy to use and understand."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the search option, allowing easy navigation."
"The platform's most valuable features are multiple connectors and data output flexibility regarding dashboards and user experience."
"Google Chronicle Suite is a highly scalable solution with good search capabilities."
"The automated response feature allows for immediate actions like isolating infected machines or blocking malicious IP addresses."
"The support team is responsive."
"The product is near perfect, with only minor enhancements needed."
"What sets Chronicle apart from other solutions is its emphasis on threat hunting rather than solely serving as a monitoring tool."
 

Cons

"Adding SIEM features would be beneficial because of the limited customization of AWS Security Hub."
"One aspect that could be improved in the solution is its adaptability to different markets and geopolitical restrictions. In certain regions like Thailand, specific services from certain countries or providers, such as AWS or Azure, might be limited or blocked. It also needs improvement in would require configuring the solution more adaptable to AWS infrastructure and function."
"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."
"AWS Security Hub's configuration and integration are areas where it lacks and needs to improve."
"Shortening the response time for support tickets, particularly in production issues, could make the service more efficient."
"Security Hub is currently not worth investing in, as it requires more configurations and integration with other services to work effectively."
"Security needs to be measured based on their own criteria. We can't add custom criteria specific to our organization. For example, having an S3 bucket publicly available might be flagged as a critical alert, but it might not be critical in a sandbox environment. So, it gets flagged as critical, which becomes a false positive. So, customization options and creating custom dashboards would be areas for improvement."
"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."
"The tool is perfectly fine, and I have not faced any challenges while using it."
"It is still not mature enough."
"The graphical user interface could be improved to enhance user experience."
"The solution's graphical user interface (GUI) should be more user-friendly."
"The configuration is not optimal."
"It is still not mature enough. If I create some content, there might be roadblocks, although this could change in the future."
"The product's default dashboard feature has a few limitations regarding availability."
"The functionalities for parsing and including feeds need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of AWS Security Hub is average compared to other solutions."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is fine. It is not an expensive tool."
"There are multiple subscription models, like yearly, monthly, and packaged."
"The price of the solution is not very competitive but it is reasonable."
"AWS Security Hub's pricing is pretty reasonable."
"Security Hub is not an expensive solution."
"The tool is cheaper than Microsoft Sentinel."
"We have to pay extra charges for the amount of data transfer and technical support services."
"Compared to other solutions, Google Chronicle Suite's pricing is fine."
"The solution's pricing is dependent on the data amount."

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…
