AWS CloudTrail vs. Zscaler Deception

It is necessary to enable [AWS] Cloudtrail when using AWS in a production environment, otherwise you will not have any idea what is happening within your accounts. Third party monitoring applications will all require [AWS] CloudTrail to be enabled as well. I would not recommend it solely as a monitoring tool, to get the most out of it you must send the logs elsewhere. Either to Cloudwatch logs or a third party product.

Zscaler Deception Technology is well suited for companies that want to provide private access to their internal apps without using a VPN. Zscaler integrates zero trust into their honey tools that is good for detecting lateral movement. With Zscaler you allow only your employees to be able to access internal apps so detecting a bad actor is much easier.

I think in the end, CloudTrail has more features and you can dive deeper inside the logs so it depends on your usage and what you expect in the end to make the right choice, I would say that both tools are really useful and bring a lot of benefits to I.T. companies.
