Enhance security with detailed vulnerability insights and seamless integration
Amazon Inspector is used for vulnerability assessment and provides detailed reports for infrastructure security. It's primarily used for vulnerability assessments and scans multiple types of resources, providing a report with findings and CVEs Amazon Inspector impacts operations primarily from a…
Andrew W - PeerSpot reviewer
Tells us about vulnerabilities as well as their impact and helps to focus on real issues
Looking at all the different pieces, it has got everything we need. Some of the pieces we do not even use. For example, we do not have Kubernetes Security. We are not running any K8 clusters, so it is good for us. Overall, we find the solution to be fantastic. There can be additional education components. This may not be truly fair to them because of what the product is going for, but it would be great to see additional education for compliance. It is not a criticism of the tool per se, but anything to help non-development resources understand some of the complexities of the cloud is always appreciated. Any additional educational resources are always helpful for security teams, especially those without a development background.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The automated vulnerability detection aspect is most valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon Inspector is the categorization of findings, which filters vulnerabilities by instance, container image, container repository, and Lambda function."
"The findings dashboards are neat and easy to understand, offering clear demarcations for different types of findings and detailed insights into specific vulnerabilities and their associated instances. It is not a place where everything is dumped together. It offers an easy-to-understand layout."
"The integration of Amazon Inspector with other AWS services has enhanced our security. Security Hub is a major asset because it allows us to centralize data from various AWS services. We can integrate third-party tools as well. It is just a single-click option."
"The vulnerability discovery is valuable, and they also rank those vulnerabilities for you. So, you could rapidly attack some of the higher, severe vulnerabilities as they pop up, if they do pop up."
"Amazon Inspector is highly stable, rated ten out of ten, and this stability impacts business security and administration positively."
"For Singularity, the task capability is easy to use and it has a very intuitive dashboard, which streamlines the processes."
"I rate SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security ten out of ten."
"PingSafe's integration is smooth. They are highly customer-oriented, and the integration went well for us."
"It is very straightforward. It is not complicated. For the information that it provides, it does a pretty good job."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to gain deep visibility into the workloads inside containers."
"SentinelOne is far superior to our previous solution, Accops, due to its seamless updates, effortless maintenance, and user-friendly interface and dashboard."
"There's real-time threat detection. It can show threats and find issues based on their severity and helps us with real-time monitoring."
"Cloud Native Security has helped us with our risk posture and securing our agenda. It has been tremendous in terms of supporting growth."
 

Cons

"One area for improvement in Amazon Inspector is the automation aspect."
"There is room for improvement in the scanning capabilities. I'd like to see broader coverage in terms of the vulnerabilities detected."
"There isn't too much to improve right now. Scanning on demand or as a part of the pipeline versus a post pipeline solution would be good, but it is not a deal breaker by any means."
"One major area for improvement is remediation. My team works on remediating findings over time, likely using available patches. However, easier integration with Amazon's patching services would be very helpful."
"It has a limited scope. So, AWS Inspector primarily focuses on the security of the EC2 instance. So, if your architecture includes other AWS services, then you may need to use additional tools for your comprehensive security assessment. So that is one con. Another is, like, we have a dependency on agents."
"A vulnerability alert would appear, and we'd fix it, but then the same alert would return the next day."
"We can customize security policies but lack auditing capabilities."
"Implementing single sign-on requires a pre-class account feature, which is currently not available."
"The Automation tab is an add-on that doesn’t work properly. They provide a list of scripts that don’t work and I have asked support to assist but they won’t help. When running on various endpoints the script doesn’t work and if it does, it’s only a couple. There are a lot of useful scripts that would be beneficial to run forensics, event logs, and process lists running on the endpoint."
"In addition to our telecom and Slack channels, it would be helpful to receive Cloud Native Security security notifications in Microsoft Teams."
"I would like PingSafe to add real-time detection of vulnerabilities and cloud misconfigurations."
"The recommended actions aren't always specific, so it might suggest recommendations that don't apply to the particular infrastructure code I'm reviewing."
"There is a bit of a learning curve for new users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's priced according to market standards for its services."
"It is scaled as you go. There are probably a certain number of scans per month, and there are tiers. If you're under a certain tier, it is free. The second level is pennies, and then all the way up to like a million. So, it has a tiered pricing program. They're pretty good with your initial scanning, and there is room to scale based on being affordable, but it is fairly cheap. There are no additional costs. They pretty much think about it as a pay-per-scan type model."
"The pricing is very transparent and clear."
"PingSafe falls somewhere in the middle price range, neither particularly cheap nor expensive."
"Singularity Cloud Security by SentinelOne is cost-efficient."
"The licensing is easy to understand and implement, with some flexibility to accommodate dynamic environments."
"PingSafe is cost-effective for the amount of infrastructure we have. It's reasonable for what they offer compared to our previous solution. It's at least 25 percent to 30 percent less."
"It is not that expensive. There are some tools that are double the cost of PingSafe. It is good on the pricing side."
"Their pricing appears to be based simply on the number of accounts we have, which is common for cloud-based products."
"PingSafe is priced reasonably for our workload."
"PingSafe falls within the typical price range for cloud security platforms."
