AWS Security Hub vs. Microsoft Sentinel

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'll go with where it's very suited in certain industries, including ours where the data resides or where it's being sent is incredibly important. So because the data stays within Microsoft World Garden, we are able to piggyback off of a lot of those certifications and meet certain requirements that allow us to expand where we sell our product to outside of scopes that we couldn't reach ourselves.

• Alerting
• Aggregation, organization and prioritization of security alerts and events
• Third party integration

Incentivized

• It is a good tool for threat detection and analysis of the threats. We are using this tool for real time threat detection on our employee machines as well as some servers.
• It provides various options for collecting data sources by leveraging multiple sources using data connectors. This helps us in gathering data from multiple sources such as our servers as well as our employee machines.
• One good thing about this tool is automated incident response thereby increasing the security of servers.

Incentivized

• 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

• It takes some time to learn how to use and install it properly, and it does not connect effectively with external PaaS systems such as Salesforce CRM, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, and so on.
• Microsoft can simplify the display of the logs to make them easier to study, and the user interface occasionally delays, which can also be enhanced.

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.

The Microsoft Azure Sentinel solution is very good and even better if you use Azure. It's easy to implement and learn how to use the tool with an intuitive and simple interface. New updates are happening to always bring new news and improve the experience and usability. The solution brings reliability as it is from a very reliable manufacturer.

Azure Sentinel is very easy to use and configure. If you are stuck somewhere, Microsoft support is excellent in assisting and solving your issue.

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 use most of the Sims that are out there, but RSAs, old Sim Log, logic, elastic, a lot of them. Sumo, we checked out Sumo too. We're a Microsoft shop and live almost entirely on top of a Microsoft ecosystem. We are considering other Microsoft security products to integrate with it. So it made a lot of sense to really drive as hard as we could Microsoft Sim at least for a few years to make sure it would fit us.

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

• Log Management is a little difficult in-house as everything is situated on the cloud.
• Paying according to the throughput of the data can be costlier for some organizations.
• Excellent integration and log parsing for Microsoft products save many man-hours for the SIEM admin to focus on other things.
