Provides automated security responses, is effective for threat management, and saves us costs

Singularity Cloud Security was convenient and effective for threat management. In the past, we relied on daily information gathering and alerts, requiring us to manually address the findings. Now, Singularity Cloud Security provides continuous threat detection and simplifies our work, significantly improving our security posture. The automated security responses have significantly improved our overall security posture. Singularity Cloud Security is easy to use as it gives us the proper step-by-step methods to solve that vulnerability. I would rate the evidence-based reporting for helping prioritize and solve important cloud security issues nine out of ten. It is helpful that Singularity Cloud Security includes proof of exploitability in the evidence-based reporting. Although it isn't perfect, it gives us the right solution to mitigate vulnerability. Our infrastructure configuration is defined using an Infrastructure as Code template. This template allows us to scan our entire infrastructure for potential issues, including pre-production problems within templates or container configuration files. Previously, we stored infrastructure details in a format that required manual data retrieval via CSV files. Now, with IaC, we have a centralized control system that manages multiple accounts and provides vulnerability listings based on severity for each account. Our previous default AWS security tool wasn't sufficient, so we adopted Singularity Cloud Security based on a client recommendation. It's been a huge improvement. Whereas our old tool took three months to gather data, Singularity Cloud Security provides a daily updated dashboard with vulnerability information. This allows us to prioritize and address security risks based on criticality, saving us significant time and effort compared to the past. Singularity Cloud Security has helped reduce the number of false positives by 70 percent. Singularity Cloud Security streamlines manual work by providing insightful information on security vulnerabilities. It not only identifies issues we might miss but also offers in-depth analysis, including potential future costs and the severity of the threat. Additionally, it presents basic details tailored for users with less security expertise, empowering them to understand and address vulnerabilities effectively. Singularity Cloud Security has improved our risk posture by 80 percent and has reduced our mean time to detection by 85 percent. Singularity Cloud Security has reduced our mean time to remediation by 70 percent. It has streamlined collaboration between our cloud security, application developers, and AppSec teams. This tool automates manual tasks, reducing our team size from ten to five. It provides us with the information we need to effectively identify and address vulnerabilities, making our cloud environment more secure. It has been a huge time-saver for our engineering team, saving them weeks of work. We have saved around 70 percent of our overall time with Singularity Cloud Security. Singularity Cloud Security has positively impacted our operational costs. The time saved by reducing manual work and resource requirements translates directly into cost savings. Singularity Cloud Security's AI empowers us with improved security solutions. When faced with uncertainty, the tool can quickly provide insights to help us gain a clear understanding of the situation.

SecOps program for us, as a smaller company, is amazing; they know what to look for

They could give a few more insights into security groups and recommendations on how to be more effective. That's getting more into the AWS environment, specifically. I'm not sure if that's Threat Stack's plan or not, but I would like them to help us be efficient about how we're setting up security groups. They could recommend separation of VPCs and the like - really dig into our architecture. I haven't seen a whole lot of that and I think that's something that, right off the bat, could have made us smarter. Even as part of the SecOps Program, that could be helpful; a quick analysis. They're analyzing our whole infrastructure and saying, "You have one VPC and that doesn't make a lot of sense, that should be multiple VPCs and here's why." The architecture of the servers in whatever cloud-hosting provider you're on could be helpful. Other than that, they should continue to expand on their notifications and on what's a vulnerability. They do a great job of that and we want them to continue to do that. It would be cool, since the agent is already deployed and they know about the server, they know the IP address, and they know what vulnerability is there, for them to test the vulnerability and see if they can actually exploit it. Or, once we patch it, they could double-check that it can't be. I don't know how hard that would be to build. Thinking on it off the top off my head, it could be a little challenging but it could also be highly interesting. It would also be great if we could test a couple of other features like hammering a server with 100 login attempts and see what happens. Real test scenarios could be really helpful. That is probably more something close to what they do with the SOC 2 audit or the report. But more visualization of that, being able to test things out on our infrastructure to make sure we can or can't hit this box could be interesting.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We really appreciate the Slack integration. When we have an incident, we get an instant notification. We also use Joe Sandbox, which Singularity can integrate with, so we can verify if a threat is legitimate."

"PingSafe stands out for its user-friendly interface and intuitive software, making it easy to navigate and use."

"We've seen a reduction in resources devoted to vulnerability monitoring. Before PingSafe we spent a lot of time monitoring and fixing these issues. PingSafe enabled us to divert more resources to the production environment."

"It is fairly simple. Anybody can use it."

"PingSafe has a dashboard that can detect the criticality of a particular problem, whether it falls under critical, medium, or low vulnerability."

"Cloud Native Security is a tool that has good monitoring features."

"PingSafe offers comprehensive security posture management."

"It is scalable, stable, and can detect any threat on a machine. It uses artificial intelligence and can lock down any virus."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pros

"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security are Cloud Security Posture Management and Cloud Workload Protection, offering more visibility and protection across our cloud environment."

"CrowdStrike utilizes signatureless technology, eliminating the need for regular signature updates on endpoint systems."

"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."

"There is a lot that it can do, but endpoint protection is the main thing about it. The fact that it uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to monitor and remediate the issues in real-time is probably the bread and butter of the product."

"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."

"Technical support is helpful."

"Cloud security is one valuable feature. Spotlight is the other one. There is also vulnerability management and a couple of more features."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security pros

"The number-one feature is the monitoring of interactive sessions on our Linux machines. We run an immutable environment, so that nothing is allowed to be changed in production... We're constantly monitoring to make sure that no one is violating that. Threat Stack is what allows us to do that."

"It is scalable. It deploys easily with curl and yum."

"There has been a measurable decrease in the meantime to remediation... because we have so many different tech verticals already collated in one place, our ability to respond is drastically different than it used to be."

"Threat Stack has connectivity."

"Every other security tool we've looked is good at containers, or at Kubernetes, is good at AWS, or at instance monitoring. But nobody is good at tying all of those things together, and that's really where Threat Stack shines."

"With Threat Stack, we quickly identified some AWS accounts which had services that would potentially be exposed and were able to remediate them prior to release of products."

"The most valuable feature is the SecOps because they have our back and they help us with the reports... It's like having an extension of your team. And then, it grows with you."

"An important feature of this solution is monitoring. Specifically, container monitoring."

More Threat Stack Cloud Security Platform pros

Cons

"Crafting customized policies can be tricky."

"A beneficial improvement for PingSafe would be integration with Jira, allowing for a more streamlined ticketing system."

"We'd like to have better notifications. We'd like them to happen faster."

"With Cloud Native Security, we can't selectively enable or disable alerts based on our specific use case."

"The recommended actions aren't always specific, so it might suggest recommendations that don't apply to the particular infrastructure code I'm reviewing."

"Singularity Cloud Security currently lacks a break-glass account function, which is a critical component for implementing Single Sign-On as it allows for regaining access in emergencies."

"We had a glitch in PingSafe where it fed us false positives in the past."

"I want PingSafe to integrate additional third-party resources. For example, PingSafe is compatible with Azure and AWS, but Azure AD isn't integrated with AWS. If PingSafe had that ability, it would enrich the data because how users interact with our AWS environment is crucial. All the identity-related features require improvement."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security cons

"The only suggestion for improvement would be the pricing."

"The only challenge lies in token verification."

"There should be cloud storage scanning. We would like to have cloud storage vulnerability and threat management on any cloud storage."

"The log scale or Humio side of it where it collects the data and expands into the XDR world still needs time to develop in terms of the way it combines the data and metadata that flows into the platform. I know they're working on it."

"Different file options should be available, and clients should be able to select from the options."

"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is expensive."

"Incorporating threat intelligence into the system would be a valuable addition."

"One area for improvement in Falcon Cloud Security is the support portal."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security cons

"The one thing that we know they're working on, but we don't have through the tool, is the application layer. As we move to a serverless environment, with AWS Fargate or direct Lambda, that's where Threat Stack does not have the capacity to provide feed. Those are areas that it's blind to now..."

"It shoots back a lot of alerts."

"I would like further support of Windows endpoint agents or the introduction of support for Windows endpoint agents."

"The reports aren't very good. We've automated the report generation via the API and replaced almost all the reports that they generate for us using API calls instead."

"The solution’s ability to consume alerts and data in third-party tools (via APIs and export into S3 buckets) is moderate. They have some work to do in that area... The API does not mimic the features of the UI as far as reporting and pulling data out go. There's a big discrepancy there."

"The user interface can be a little bit clunky at times... There's a lot of information that needs to be waded through, and the UI just isn't great."

"The compliance and governance need improvement."

"The API - which has grown quite a bit, so we're still learning it and I can't say whether it still needs improvement - was an area that had been needing it."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"PingSafe falls somewhere in the middle price range, neither particularly cheap nor expensive."

"PingSafe is affordable."

"Their pricing appears to be based simply on the number of accounts we have, which is common for cloud-based products."

"I understand that SentinelOne is a market leader, but the bill we received was astronomical."

"The tool is cost-effective."

"PingSafe is less expensive than other options."

"The cost for PingSafe is average when compared to other CSPM tools."

"Its pricing is constant. It has been constant over the previous year, so I am happy with it. However, price distribution can be better explained. That is the only area I am worried about. Otherwise, the pricing is very reasonable."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pricing and cost advice

"CrowdStrike Falcon is very expensive."

"Its price is moderate."

"The pricing is fair for what you get. I'd rate them a solid nine out of ten in terms of pricing."

"I am not the one who handled the pricing. A different team worked on it, but it is pretty expensive."

"The pricing is reasonable, neither overly expensive nor excessively cheap, making it competitive compared to other market options."

"We find the licensing and pricing very easy to understand and a good value for the services provided."

"It came in cheaper than Trend Micro when we purchased it a few years ago."

"Pricing seems to be in line with the market structure. It's fine."

"It is very expensive compared to some other products. The pricing is definitely high."

"I'm happy with the amount that we spend for the product that we get and the overall service that we get. It's not cheap, but I'm still happy with the spend."

"It is a cost-effective choice versus other solutions on the market."

"What we're paying now is somewhere around $15 to $20 per agent per month, if I recall correctly. The other cost we have is SecOps."
