AWS: Cloud Infrastructure Monitoring
Frequently Asked Questions:
at Arctic Wolf we hear some common questions about Public Cloud and security:
Question
“I would love to move more workloads to the cloud, but how do I ensure the workloads I move are secure?”
Answer
When you leverage Arctic Wolf as your security operations provider, you can be assured that migrating more applications into AWS doesn’t impact the oversight you’ll have. Arctic Wolf has extensive experience deploying and monitoring AWS Services and APIs.
Question
“What if I don’t have the time or people to leverage GuardDuty, Amazon Cloud Watch, AWS Control Tower, or other AWS services?”
Answer
Arctic Wolf gives customers scalability to take on the right mix of services and tooling to optimise the cost versus risk reduction. Our concierge team can help with best practices and practical advice to get started. We will then provide detection and response for these services 24x7.
Question
“How do I deploy Arctic Wolf within AWS?”
Answer
Unlike cloud security tools who have complex setups and configurations; Arctic Wolf helps you securely embrace the cloud without complexity. The solution comes with 120+ alerting rules out of the box and is easy to setup via Amazon CloudFormation.
Furthermore, Arctic Wolf meets the 10 managed security specialisations required by AWS security experts to monitor essential AWS resources. These specialisations include AWS infrastructure vulnerability scanning, AWS resource inventory visibility, AWS security best practises monitoring, AWS compliance monitoring, the ability to monitor and triage security events, 24/7 incident alerting and response, distributed denial of service (DDoS) mitigation, managed intrusion detection and prevention systems, managed detection and response for AWS-based endpoints, and managed web application firewall (WAF).
Protecting Against Unauthorised Access and Data Loss
| Attack Category | Description/Examples | Cloud Vulnerability |
|---|---|---|
|
Unauthorised Access |
Malicious login activity for users and admins, admin settings changes, privilege escalations, logins from unusual international locations, phishing and credential theft |
Cloud services are designed for access from multiple locations and come with support for multiple devices and operating systems, making them particularly vulnerable to unauthorised access. |
|
Data Exfiltration |
Data breaches, where attackers attempt to acquire sensitive data, such as personally identifiable information, intellectual property, etc. |
Cloud systems enable remote access, data download, and ubiquitous mobility. Third party API access and OAuth token issues may expose sensitive data. Compromised mobile devices may also result in data loss. |
|
Resource Misuse |
Cryptocurrency mining, “cryptojacking”, hackers exploiting corporate resources to provide services |
Cloud instances are easy to create without authorisation and control remotely. They often lack comprehensive visibility and native alerting. |
|
Insider Threat |
Human error, accidental data exposure, malicious insiders |
Cloud platforms facilitate data mobility. Hybrid architectures rely on multiple platforms, and many cloud services enable easy creation of public-facing links. |
The Challenges of Cloud Security
Cloud adoption is rising, but so are cloud threats. Too many IT teams are falling behind.
How We Help
Embrace the cloud without complexity. As businesses move their application workloads and infrastructure into cloud environments, they’re often not sure how to extend security measures to the cloud – leaving their environments vulnerable to threats.
