    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 think it's good for cloud-native companies. A company that, from day zero, they're like, "We're going cloud, and this is how we're going to do it." They get it. It works well for them. Smaller organizations that are under X amount of resources- I don't know what that X might mean- but I feel like it plays well in smaller, more nimble organizations. If you're an older organization or if you're extremely large, it starts becoming a little difficult to manage at scale. And you have to sometimes throw bodies at the problem. Maybe not the most eloquent way of saying it, but that's what it feels like.

    • It's really well laid out, with an easy-to-use, accessible UI.
    • With Microsoft Defender for Cloud, it has everything you need with the Safelink attachment, the Safelink emails for URL, the way it scans those URLs and attachments within the product, and you're seeing the results. And that adds an extra layer of security for the user, so you feel comfortable knowing the product monitors those. That's something I really like about that product.

    Cons
    Amazon AWS
    • 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

    • Integrations with on-premise workloads can sometimes be challenging. Needs improvement and well standardised integration points
    • Vulnerability categories can be difficult to understand. It should allow teams to focus on critical findings and help them keep aside low-severity or suppressed vulnerabilities
    • Pricing can be improved as it can be over-priced for smaller businesses and would potentially affect their ROI due to the small scale

    It is a great product that integrates nicely when running an Azure platform and even multi-cloud environment. Not looking for point-solutions but a suite that answers most requirements. It is very comfortable being able to use KQL, workbooks and automation that is native to the azure platform

    Usability
    Amazon AWS
    AWS always good with usability and same here for AWS Security Hub. A lot of good documentation is available to read and configure your own. We also started with looking at the videos and documentation to configure automation for our compliance checks. And to configure there are very less steps to be followed which is a very good thing for faster configuration.

    My visibility is limited because I'm only doing very small pieces of what the overall org does. And also, we have limitations on what we're allowed to use. It's not like we get a new product as users or leadership level users, and everything is on, and we can just do whatever we want. We're very restricted in what we can use any tooling within the org because of the different levels of regulatory constraints we have, because of just the nature of who we are inherently. So that's why. I don't think it's necessarily the product. I think it's more or less of what we're able to do with the product.

    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.

    I believe Microsoft Defender for Cloud stacks up well against the other tools we looked at. It is native to the Azure platform and provides the same insights as the other tools. We selected Microsoft Defender for Cloud because it integrates well with the Azure resources and gives the needed insight, security alerts and recommendations.

    Return on Investment
    Amazon AWS
    • The automated compliance test helped us a lot to get PCIDSS certified so it was a very good return for our investments.
    • Some third party tools we were using were not available for AWS Security Hub automated testing.
    • Easy to configure for faster security automations but if we need detailed reports we should add more tools.

    • Ensuring compliance with data protection regulations can prevent costly fines and legal issues, positively impacting ROI.
    • Effective cloud resource protection can optimize cloud spending and resource utilization, ultimately reducing cloud infrastructure costs.
    • The subscription costs associated with Defender for Cloud can add to an organization's operational expenses, impacting ROI.
    • Smaller organizations may find the feature set and complexity of Defender for Cloud unnecessary, potentially overinvesting in security solutions.
