AWS has announced that its new security service Amazon Detective is now available at no additional cost to customers.Amazon Detective makes
service automatically collects log data from a customer's resources and then uses machine learning, statistical analysis and graph theory
to build interactive visualizations that allow customers to analyze, investigate and quickly identify the root cause of potential security
issues or suspicious activities.There are also no additional charges or commitments to use Amazon Detective and customers pay only for data
ingested from AWS CloudTrail, Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Flow Logs and Amazon GuardDuty findings.To start using Amazon Detective,
AWS customers must first enable the service in the AWS Management Console
From there, the service automatically begins distilling and organizing data from AWS CloudTrail, Amazon VPC Flow Logs and Amazon GuardDuty
findings into a graph model that summarizes resource behaviors and interactions observed across an AWS customer's environment.By using
machine learning, statistical analysis and graph theory, Amazon Detective produces tailored visualizations to help customers answer
questions without having to organize any data or develop, configure or tune their own queries and algorithms
The service will also allow security teams to more quickly move on to remediation as Amazon Detective handles all of the necessary data
sifting.Vice president of security services at AWS, Dan Plastina explained why the company created the service in a press release,
often say they need help when it comes to understanding what caused the issues in the first place
Gathering the information necessary to conduct effective security investigations has traditionally been a burdensome process, which can put
