AWS Security Hub vs. Tenable Security Center

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.

[Tenable.sc (formerly SecurityCenter)] does very well for internal scanning for vulnerabilities, however it needs to be combined with Tenable.io in order to do cloud scanning.

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

Incentivized

• Vulnerability management from one place
• Maximum endpoint visibility
• Easy to set up and plan the structure
• Support desk quickly responses
• Well-prepared documentation
• Broad scanning type
• Supports various compliance standards
• User groups allows coordination between teams

• 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

• Centralized vulnerability management with sensors.
• Network health assessment and Incident response.
• For alerting or notification, it should also support the SMS gateway.

On all of the occasions that I have had to reach out to Tenable for assistance, they have been extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Solutions and support are provided quickly, and they work on the issue until it is resolved.

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.

We decided to go with Tenable due to its robust reporting capabilities and competitive pricing vs its competitors. While all tools are very similar in regards to scanning capabilities we prefer Tenable SC's user interface. We also like the option to have both on-prem and cloud with theirs. Tenable io product as well.
