OVERVIEW

Why integrate AWS and Vectra AI

AWS services protect configurations, control access, and monitor activity. But advanced attackers know how to exploit post-authentication blind spots. And they use them to compromise IAM roles, move laterally between accounts, and exfiltrate data.

Vectra AI equips you with the industry’s only AI-driven cloud detection and response solution purpose-built for AWS. It runs natively on AWS and integrates seamlessly with services like Amazon GuardDuty, AWS CloudTrail, AWS Security Lake, and AWS Bedrock. So you can stop advanced hybrid and multi-cloud attacks before they escalate.

CAPABILITIES

How Vectra AI and AWS deliver complete coverage

Together, Vectra AI and AWS close the post-authentication gap.

Expose attacks that bypass native controls

  • Detect IAM abuse, lateral movement, and data exfiltration after authentication

  • Spot stealthy attacker behaviors that blend into normal AWS activity

See across hybrid and multi-account environments

  • Correlate detections across VPCs, regions, and identities

  • Unify AWS-native findings with network and identity signals for a single view

Accelerate SOC efficiency

  • Make investigations 50% faster with rich metadata, entity attribution, and AI-driven triage

  • Identify 52% more potential threats

WHY VECTRA AI

Find the attacks AWS-native tools can’t 

The Vectra AI Platform detects and correlates behaviors across cloud, network, and identity to stop threats before they spread.

Vectra AI’s real-time data ingestion engine:

  • Monitors 13.3 million IPs daily

  • Processes 10 billion sessions per hour

  • Handles 9.4 trillion bits per second

Modern approach to network detection and response

This modern approach to network detection and response:

  • Covers > 90% of MITRE ATT&CK techniques

  • Makes Vectra AI the most-referenced MITRE D3FEND vendor

To defend modern cloud environments

With AI-driven detections across cloud, network, and identity, you get full visibility and faster investigations — without added complexity.

Vectra
OVERVIEW

Why integrate Zscaler with Vectra AI

Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) and Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) provide the essential SASE architecture you need for secure remote and hybrid work. But attackers still find blind spots. And they’ll use them to slip past prevention controls, remaining invisible to SASE alone.

The Vectra AI Platform ingests Zscaler traffic to detect hidden attacker behaviors across internet, private access, cloud, and IoT/OT. The result is complete visibility and faster investigations — without added complexity.

Why Zscaler and Vectra
CAPABILITIES

How Vectra AI and Zscaler deliver a holistic view of network traffic

Together, Vectra AI and Zscaler bridge the gap between detection and protection for complete coverage across SASE environments.

Expose novel attacks

Detect evasive C2 and exfiltration attempts that slip past prevention controls.

  • Spend 37% less time identifying new attack use cases

  • Identify 52% more potential threats

See across users, apps, and devices

Correlate detections across cloud, on-premises, remote, and IoT/OT traffic for complete visibility.

  • Unify visibility across hybrid environments into a single centralized solution

  • Increase security team efficiency by 40%

Accelerate investigations

Enrich Zscaler telemetry with AI-driven context, streamlining SOC triage and threat hunting.

  • Cut triage time by 60% with AI-driven context

  • Cut manual investigation tasks by 50%

WHY VECTRA AI

Find the attacks others can’t

Legacy solutions prevent and control access, but advanced attackers still find ways in. The Vectra AI Platform sees and stops hidden attacks as they progress from network to identity to cloud.

Vectra AI’s real-time data ingestion engine:

  • Monitors 13.3 million IPs daily

  • Processes 10 billion sessions per hour

  • Handles 9.4 trillion bits per second
