AWS Security Hub vs. Freshstatus

I don't think there's yet a perfect tool in this category of security and incident aggregators, but AWS Security Hub is an excellent tool for having visibility into our overall security posture. It is a great aggregator for many AWS services but also for third party security tools with which it integrates really well.

I believe the interface and ease of the platform make it super likable and bring me back to continue its use.

• Not easy to read past data, especially once it moves into Glacier deep storage
• performance is somewhat sluggish ... other systems are much faster to analyze data
• Doesn't always provide a remediation solution or suggested fix like other 3rd party tools like Qualys.
• It's hard to get the initial configuration and enrollment completed as there's a lot of manual intervention for every configured rule that needs to be enabled
• alerts are often times delayed

Incentivized

• Hard to integrate with other systems
• Maintenance issues are not automatically resolved
• No integration with the rest of Freshworks

AWS Security Hub is it's own unique program that I have used. I haven't used anything similar to it and it was worth it to try out. However, for those that want to keep for long, it will be very heavy in term of budget and resource that they have to provide.

Statuspage is great if you use their full product stack. Freshstatus can easily run independently

• Since we have started using this, we could notice a drop of security issues
