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.

Mohit Dhingra

Senior Vice President IT at AS IT Consulting Pvt. Ltd.

Offers comprehensive report generation while maintaining ease of integration

We need to improve Trellix ESM by making sure that most of the logging devices available in the global market should be covered, and if there is any device which is not covered, there should not be any additional charges for writing the custom parsers on that. We can add some new features regarding AI in the future for Trellix ESM, but the maturity will take a longer time. There are many false positives that happen in an environment during the first couple of months, or around six months, so the system analyst is not able to identify whether the event which has occurred is a true positive or a false positive.

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 features of the solution are the scanning of all the cloud environments and most of the compliances available in the cloud."

"The solution shows us our compliance score."

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

"I find all of the features to be highly valuable."

"Cloudposse is a valuable feature as it guarantees my security."

"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."

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

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

More AWS Security Hub pros

"We use this solution for correlation, alerting, and log management."

"The most valuable feature is for the security operation center because it provides visibility of all traffic within the company infrastructure."

"The most valuable feature is the correlation rules."

"The product works better than other vendors available in the market."

"We now have a better view of our security posture from an external and internal point of view."

"The ability to secure my data is the most important feature."

"The ease of use is the most valuable feature. Over the years I have always been using this solution and have become comfortable with it."

"The most valuable feature is that if the scanning does find something, it quarantines it."

Cons

"AWS Security Hub cannot scale up to multiple different cloud environments; it only works for AWS."

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

"The support must be quicker."

"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."

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

"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."

"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

"The disk space needed for events is not clear."

"McAfee has many issues with integration. I am looking for an end-to-end integration such as EDR, and Next-Generation SOC 2.0."

"The only issue I have with McAfee is the amount of computer resources that it takes... it's definitely impacting some of the other applications that are running on a computer at the same time."

"There should be support for multitenancy in the product."

"We would welcome integrations with some of the new McAfee acquisitions, e.g., behavioural analytics."

"There's no software support from McAfee."

"McAfee ESM is not user-friendly and the log is not accurate. For instance, if I were assigned to generate a log for changes made today, I wouldn't be able to see all the modifications. While Palo Alto allows us to see all changes, McAfee ESM only captures one out of every ten changes. It's crucial to have visibility into all changes made."

"The only issue I have with McAfee is the amount of computer resources that it takes... it's definitely impacting some of the other applications that are running on a computer at the same time."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Security Hub is not an expensive solution."

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

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

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

"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."

"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."

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

"We renew our license annually."

"McAfee is the right choice for a low-budget solution."

"The pricing is fair."
