Global IT Director at OpenWeb

Automation workflows have transformed our IT, enabling secure just-in-time access control

We work with them quite often, so we have a direct line regarding areas in Torq that have room for improvement. If we have a feature request, we can request it. I do not have anything in mind at the moment. We were a design partner for a short while, so we feel that they listen and that users of the system have an impact on the way the system is designed for the better. They have a new community, which is something that I personally suggested years ago. There are many people like me in different places and they might have already built the workflow that I need. Having the option to share workflows or to jump on a thread and say I have this need, did anyone ever build a workflow for it, is amazing. Someone would jump in and say yes, sure, here, take this workflow. I think this is an amazing thing and I really hope that the community will come alive because I think this is really powerful. This is something that I already suggested and it did happen eventually, and I am quite happy with it. I do not have any specific feature in mind that I have a need for at the moment.

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.

Reliable and good support but can be expensive

I have no real complaints about the solution. Threat detection could be better. They need to enhance their threat intelligence feeds. We would like to have more IOCs or more trade intelligence to not only rely on the intelligence of the engineer in charge but to have some threat intelligence and some seeds of IOCs and to have the host have some artificial intelligence to reduce the number of false positives. I don't see this solution being very scalable. The solution is pricey.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"If I review about 100 vendors that I might work with, Torq is definitely in the top five that gave me personally investment back, just because every bit of effort I put into Torq eventually became a workflow that gave it back to me."

"Once I started to use the system and I saw the potential, it changed all of our work in IT."

"Any request that comes in, regardless of how complex it is, I can accomplish it with Torq."

"Using that one piece of AI, we auto-closed 511 cases in quarter four alone."

"As an analyst, it has demonstrated potential to reduce workforce requirements and time needed for related activities."

"What I appreciate most about Torq is that it is an essential part of our system."

"The best feature of AWS Security Hub is that you can get compliance or your cloud's current security posture."

"The platform has valuable features for security."

"Currently, our organization utilizes AWS for various purposes, including SaaS (Software as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), and hosting applications in the cloud. We develop our applications and use AWS services as a platform for basic functions and secondary development needs. Additionally, we rely on PaaS for accounting services. Approximately, 50% of our applications are hosted in the cloud environment, making it a significant part of our current setup."

"The most valuable feature of AWS Security Hub is the ability to track when monitoring is not enabled on any of my resources."

"The most valuable features of the solution are the scanning of all the cloud environments and most of the compliances available in the cloud."

"AWS Security Hub brings many features into one table that is quite useful, and the app team finds it easier to see what is missing."

"The most beneficial aspect of Security Hub is its proactive capability, allowing us to identify potential security issues before they escalate."

"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."

More AWS Security Hub pros

"This solution allows us to locate the malware in real-time."

"The most valuable feature is the way it captures the traffic, and it contains every detail of the communication."

"Ability to isolate the machine when there are malicious files."

"The interface of this solution is very flexible and easy to use."

"Technical support is knowledgeable."

"The stability of the RSA NetWitness Endpoint is very good."

"It helps our security team respond more accurately when there are threats, then we get less false positives or negatives."

"It is very easy to use, and its usability is great. The use cases are also very easy. The visualizations of the use cases are magnificent. You cannot find this in any other solution. From my point of view, it is great."

More NetWitness NDR pros

Cons

"The initial deployment of Torq was not easy."

"Regarding stability, I have noticed some lagging, crashing, and downtime, which is one of my largest gripes."

"Regarding the pricing of Torq, I would say it is expensive."

"It was able to capture data but was unable to differentiate between the agent hostname we are using and the hostname that resides on the back end of the Internet."

"Even now, we have workflows that are in production that use AI steps and I get different results, making it unusable to some degree."

"Shortening the response time for support tickets, particularly in production issues, could make the service more efficient."

"AWS Security Hub's configuration and integration are areas where it lacks and needs to improve."

"The solution should be easier to learn and use"

"There is room for improvement in implementing AI capabilities."

"Many findings are too generic or irrelevant to the environment, which can lead to false positives."

"From an improvement perspective, there is a need to add more compliance since, right now, AWS Security Hub only provides four to five compliances to control the tool."

"Whenever my team gets some alarms from the central team, my team needs to initiate whether it's a real or false trigger. The central team needs to keep adjusting to the parameters or at least the concerned IPs, whether it's really from the company's pool of IPs, so the trigger process can be improved. In the next release of AWS Security Hub, I'd like a better dashboard that could result in better alert visibility."

"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."

More AWS Security Hub cons

"The integration of the solution needs to be improved. The dashboard needs lots of updates as well. In the next release, we would like to see advanced fraud detection features."

"The deployment process is complex. I don't know why, but this solution will suddenly stop working. Logs stop coming. Often, one thing or another stops working. Most of the time, one of my team members is working with troubleshooting and working with technical support. Log passing is also one of the biggest challenge."

"We would like to see the hunting and investigation features of this solution improved, in order to provide better visibility of issues."

"Threat detection could be better."

"The threat intelligence could improve in RSA NetWitness Endpoint."

"Its price could be improved. It is an expensive product. Its training is also too expensive. It would be great if they can have a better pricing scheme for the training."

"The contamination feature could be improved."

"I would like to see Security Orchestration and Response Automation (SOAR) integration."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Security Hub is not an expensive solution."

"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 pricing is fine. It is not an expensive tool."

"The price of the solution is not very competitive but it is reasonable."

"The price of AWS Security Hub is average compared to other solutions."

"AWS Security Hub's pricing is pretty reasonable."

"There are multiple subscription models, like yearly, monthly, and packaged."

"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."

"It is highly scalable. It can be bought based on your requirements."

"The price of the solution depends on the environment. If the environment is large then it will cost more. However, the larger the environment with more endpoints, you will receive an increased discount. If the environment is very small, then you might think it is expensive. It is always better to buy in bulk to receive a discount. The minimum number of assets is usually 500, with discounts on 1000 and 2000."

"The cost depends on the number of endpoints that you want to monitor, but it is not expensive."

"I do not have any opinion on the pricing or licensing of the product."

"We are on a three-year contract to use RSA NetWitness Network."

"NetWitness Endpoint is less costly than its competitors, but it offers fewer features."

"They can easily adjust if you have the requirements which are required. If you have a budget cut or a budget constraint, they can bend."

"It is an expensive product."
