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.

Has improved threat detection accuracy and helped monitor endpoints across hybrid environments

The most valuable capabilities of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security relate to preventing attacks caused by human error, such as when someone plugs in a USB device or downloads something without caution. It automatically blocks duplication and activities that could result in data loss, effectively preventing unintended copying of data to personal devices. Deduplication prevention is definitely the most valuable feature. CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security excels in threat detection with a vast investigation structure, allowing us to verify suspicious activities to identify root causes. It helps us trace back to the origin and fix issues, making it a user-friendly tool for this kind of detection. CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is built on AI and ML technology, enabling it to detect various threats and block suspicious activities immediately, which is particularly effective compared to traditional AVs and EDRs. The analytics provided by CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is key for maintaining a proactive security posture. Its AI and ML foundations offer extensive information on threats and suspicious activities, making it renowned for analysis in the industry.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"AWS Security Hub can check your infrastructure against multiple compliance frameworks. You can turn on or off specific frameworks based on your needs."

"I really like the seamless integration with the AWS account structure. It can even be made mandatory as part of the landing zone. These are great features. And there's a single pane of glass for the entire account."

"Finding out if your infrastructure is secure is a valuable feature."

"Very good at detection and providing real-time alerts."

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

"AWS Security Hub provides comprehensive alerts about potential compliance issues with CIS standards. The integration with third-party tools is another excellent feature. All our workloads are on AWS."

"The solution shows us our compliance score."

More AWS Security Hub pros

"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."

"I have contacted customer service, and they are fast."

"I find the easy installation process, quick detection capabilities, and the cloud-based console very useful for this solution."

"The alerts are clearer, and the capabilities are much better than the others."

"The threat detection capability of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security has always been the major seller, and it works effectively."

"The solution has login features like multi factor authentication."

"The most valuable feature of Falcon Cloud Security is its comprehensive threat-hunting ability."

"The most significant benefit is how quickly malware and other malicious attacks are detected."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security pros

Cons

"There is room for improvement in implementing AI capabilities. It would be beneficial for Security Hub to implement preventative measures and to directly apply recommendations instead of just suggesting them."

"I would like a more fine-grained capability for creating custom rules and a more user-friendly experience programmatically in writing queries and configuring custom security rules, making it quicker and easier."

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

"One aspect that could be improved in the solution is its adaptability to different markets and geopolitical restrictions. In certain regions like Thailand, specific services from certain countries or providers, such as AWS or Azure, might be limited or blocked. It also needs improvement in would require configuring the solution more adaptable to AWS infrastructure and function."

"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."

"The telemetry doesn't always go into the control center. When you have multiple instances running in AWS, you need a control tower to take feeds from Security Hub and analyze your results. Sometimes exemptions aren't passed between the control tower and Security Hub. The configuration gets mixed up or you don't get the desired results."

"The solution should be easier to learn and use"

"We need more granular-level customizations to enable or disable the rules in AWS Security Hub."

More AWS Security Hub cons

"The threat intelligence and user behavioral analysis could be more comprehensive."

"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is expensive."

"I would not say the tool's integration capabilities were straightforward because the complexity depends on the volume of the data."

"There is room for improvement in the solution's ability to handle Linux systems."

"The user interface needs improvement as it's sometimes difficult to locate specific dashboards or reports."

"The pricing is very high and should be improved."

"The UI part needs to be improved."

"There are no bugs because they release updates continuously. We highly appreciate that, but during hunting or running a query on different logs, the time frame has increased in the past six months. It takes longer to give us the results."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

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

"Security Hub is not an expensive solution."

"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."

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

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

"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is very expensive for us. Last month, we had a big issue that took much time and money to resolve. It slowed down our business and required our management team to get involved. We had a problem similar to the "Blue Screen of Death" issue many US companies faced. This incident used up many of our IT resources in just a few months. That's why we're looking for a replacement tool now."

"CrowdStrike Falcon is very expensive."

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

"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is pricy."

"It is expensive, but it adds value."

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

"It's an expensive package but does what it says it will do."

"It's an expensive product"
