Skybox Security Suite and AWS Firewall Manager compete in network security solutions. AWS Firewall Manager is often considered superior due to its integration within the AWS ecosystem, while Skybox Security Suite is favored for its pricing and robust support.
Features:Skybox Security Suite provides advanced network modeling, vulnerability detection, and complex analytics tools, specializing in extensive analytics and network coverage. AWS Firewall Manager offers centralized security management, automated policy applications, and integration within the AWS ecosystem, which is ideal for organizations leveraging AWS services.
Room for Improvement:Skybox Security Suite could enhance its user interface to streamline operations and reduce complexity, improve integration with non-AWS platforms, and simplify policy management for easier use by less experienced users. AWS Firewall Manager may improve by broadening support beyond AWS environments, enhancing customization options for unique enterprise needs, and streamlining the management of third-party security tools.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service:Skybox Security Suite offers a flexible deployment model but requires a deep understanding of network architecture with a complex support structure. AWS Firewall Manager, being part of the AWS infrastructure, provides streamlined deployment and centralized management, offering reliable support for AWS users.
Pricing and ROI:Skybox Security Suite is more cost-effective at initial setup, making it attractive for large enterprises requiring comprehensive analytics tools. AWS Firewall Manager’s pricing aligns with its integration and management benefits, promising long-term ROI for companies heavily utilizing AWS, although exact pricing varies based on AWS services consumed.
AWS Firewall Manager is a security management service which allows you to centrally configure and manage firewall rules across your accounts and applications in AWS Organization. As new applications are created, Firewall Manager makes it easy to bring new applications and resources into compliance by enforcing a common set of security rules. Now you have a single service to build firewall rules, create security policies, and enforce them in a consistent, hierarchical manner across your entire infrastructure.
Using AWS Firewall Manager, you can easily roll out AWS WAF rules for your Application Load Balancers, API Gateways, and Amazon CloudFront distributions. Similarly, you can create AWS Shield Advanced protections for your Application Load Balancers, ELB Classic Load Balancers, Elastic IP Addresses and CloudFront distributions. Finally, with AWS Firewall Manager, you can enable security groups for your Amazon EC2 and ENI resource types in Amazon VPCs.
The Skybox Security Suite platform combines firewall and network device data with vulnerability and threat intelligence, prioritizing security issues in the context of your unique environment. Powerful attack vector analytics reduce response times and risks, bringing firewall, vulnerability and threat management processes for complex networks under control.
