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.

Daily endpoint monitoring has improved investigations and saved time but detection rules still need tuning

It is important to note that Rapid7 InsightCloudSec's features are not 100% precise, but I find about 70% of the time it is satisfactory. I would like to suggest that you improve it to be more precise, ideally making it 100% if possible. Some cases in Rapid7 InsightCloudSec indicate that the log is not enough, as they mostly just generate alerts, and the synchronization between data connectors is often problematic, particularly in terms of not being in sync always, especially between the AD and Rapid7 alerts, which generates numerous false positives. Additionally, the traditional rules should be updated, as this is a main point worth mentioning since we spend a lot of time fine-tuning these traditional rules. I suggest improving the legacy detection rules. If there are any authentication cases, such as impossible travel activity where a user has their SharePoint hosted in a different location, Rapid7 can often trigger alerts, creating confusion as we cannot fine-tune it properly. Another issue is with honeypot access. We sometimes lack necessary logs because Defender's advanced threat protection scanning gets detected as honeypot activity by Rapid7, leading to annoying and noisy alerts that we need to constantly close. If you can improve the traditional detection rules to reflect current detection rules, it would make it significantly easier for us to manage, as we constantly need to check legacy rules to update or possibly turn them off. Updating the legacy rules should be a priority.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"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."

"Security Hub provides insightful information about what is running and where there might be weaknesses."

"Easily integrates with third-party tools"

"AWS Security Hub has very good integration features. It allows for AWS native services integration, and it helps us to integrate some of the services outside of AWS. They have partners, such as Amazon Preferred Network Partners (APN). If you have different security tools around APN, we can integrate those findings with AWS Security Hub reducing the need to refer to different portals or different UIs. You can have AWS Security Hub act as a single common go-to dashboard."

"One of the most effective features of AWS Security Hub is the easy access to a dashboard with a ready-to-use security score."

"This solution is for security posture management for the cloud, showing the security posture of your cloud infrastructure and giving you good insight into whether your infrastructure is secure or not."

"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is easy to manage...It is a scalable solution."

More AWS Security Hub pros

"The fastest scanning is the best feature Rapid7 InsightCloudSec offers, helping me respond to threats quickly in my daily operations."

"The best features Rapid7 InsightCloudSec offers include more automation remediation, compliance reporting for auditing, improvement on multi-cloud governance, and cost visibility, which really stand out to me."

"I can confirm money and time savings with Rapid7 InsightCloudSec, as we can scan the entire IP range simultaneously instead of manually checking each asset for vulnerabilities, reducing the need for technicians to move around the organization and thus saving significant time."

"I find the security frameworks and security tools valuable. I think they're good in the infrastructure of the code security. They are also good at threat protection."

"ICSE is cheaper compared to other tools and has a pleasant user experience with good support."

"Rapid7 InsightCloudSec has helped us save thirty percent time in our log retrievals, and it completely changed log searching, making it really fast when we search for logs, with no prior knowledge required."

"Agentless scanning is a possible use with Rapid7 InsightCloudSec."

"I find the security frameworks and security tools valuable, as they are good in the infrastructure of the code security and are also good at threat protection."

More Rapid7 InsightCloudSec pros

Cons

"Although AWS Security Hub does a periodic scan of your overall infrastructure, it doesn't do it in real time."

"Security Hub is currently not worth investing in, as it requires more configurations and integration with other services to work effectively."

"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."

"The solution will only give you insight if you have configure rule enabled. It should work more like Prisma Cloud and Dome9 which have a better approach."

"The solution lacks self-sufficiency."

"The user interface, graphs, and dashboards of the solution could improve in the future. They are not very sophisticated and could use an update."

"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."

More AWS Security Hub cons

"Rapid7 InsightCloudSec can be improved by seeing reductions and improvements in prioritization, tuning findings, suppressing low-value alerts, and better prioritizing the most critical risks."

"The platform could be improved with more customizable dashboards and reporting."

"I would say that because Rapid7 InsightCloudSec does not have automatic patching capabilities, it provides recommendations, but it does not execute anything from within Rapid7 InsightCloudSec."

"Rapid7 InsightCloudSec could be better at showing dashboards for virtual firewalls and appliances. Compared to other solutions like Palo Alto, this area is not as good. So, they should work on improving this for virtual devices."

"They didn't have any documentation on how to patch it."

"Improvements could include providing better human-readable report formats with thorough explanations of CVEs and threats, detailing what can be done to eliminate malicious activities."

"I'm not impressed with their support right now. Their support model is not really good."

"The login piece needs improvement."

More Rapid7 InsightCloudSec cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Security Hub is not an expensive solution."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"We're doing an annual subscription. There are additional expenses, but not within the confines of this platform."

"Companies generally buy this tool because the pricing is not that high."
