Amazon Web Services Log Management

Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers scalable data storage at a cost that fits enterprise budgets. But enterprises need to secure what they've put in the cloud if they want to retain a competitive edge and meet compliance mandates.

Cloud Security Plus addresses the need for security with its log monitoring service. The software collects individual logs and creates meaningful reports, so you can track changes happening to your AWS resources and conduct a security analysis.

Log collection

Cloud Security Plus retrieves AWS CloudTrail logs and S3 server access logs to detect malicious activity in the AWS environment. These collected logs are stored for a customizable period of time, and can be used for forensic study.

Actionable data

The logs are sorted and are collectively presented as reports to give insight into your AWS environment. The reports cover IAM activity, user login activity, and events that occur in Amazon EC2, Web Application Firewalls (WAF), Relational Database Service (RDS), Lambda, Security Token Service (STS), Elastic Block Store (EBS), Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), Elastic Load Balancer (ELB), and Simple Storage Service (S3).

Additionally, an interactive dashboard provides a bird's-eye view of data represented graphically.

Search

With the powerful log search engine, you can conduct a full text search or search by individual booleans, phrases, fields, and ranges. The search engine will look up the term in your log message and help find what you need.

Alerts

To make you aware of plausible threats in your AWS environment, automated notifications are sent via email when unusual activities, anomalous trends, and other security threats occur.

Based on how serious the event is, alerts are prioritized and categorized so that you can immediately focus on critical events to prevent a security breach.

Automatic configuration

Before CloudTrail logs can be generated and transmitted from your AWS environment to Cloud Security Plus, a few configurations need to be changed in your AWS environment. The auto-configuration feature takes care of this for you, sparing you from the meticulous effort required to make these changes.
