Cloud Detection and Response for AWS

Cloud Detection and Response for AWS (CDR for AWS) is a security platform that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to detect and respond to cyberattacks across your global AWS infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS) footprint. It is designed to help security teams identify and stop misconfiguration, credential theft, and supply chain compromise before they turn into breaches.

CDR for AWS works by collecting and analyzing data from a variety of sources, including AWS CloudTrail logs, AWS API calls, and network traffic. It then uses AI to identify patterns and anomalies that may indicate an attack. CDR also provides a variety of tools to help security teams investigate and respond to attacks, including threat hunting, forensics, and automated response.

Key benefits of using CDR for AWS

  • Early detection of attacks: CDR for AWS can detect attacks early in the kill chain, before they have a chance to cause damage. This is because it uses AI to identify patterns and anomalies that may indicate an attack, even if the attacker is using new or unknown techniques.
  • Reduced workload for security teams: CDR for AWS can help security teams reduce their workload by automating many of the tasks involved in detecting and responding to attacks. This includes threat hunting, forensics, and automated response.
  • Improved visibility into the AWS environment: CDR for AWS provides a single, unified view of your AWS environment, making it easier for security teams to identify and investigate potential threats.

CDR for AWS is a powerful tool that can help security teams protect their AWS environments from a wide range of cyberattacks. It is a good choice for organizations of all sizes, but it is especially well-suited for large organizations with complex AWS environments.

Examples of how CDR for AWS can be used to detect and respond to cyberattacks

  • Detect unusual login activity: CDR can detect unusual login activity, such as login attempts from suspicious IP addresses or at unusual times.
  • Detect suspicious network traffic: CDR can detect suspicious network traffic, such as traffic to known malicious IP addresses or traffic patterns that are inconsistent with normal activity.
  • Detect misconfigured resources: CDR can detect misconfigured AWS resources, such as S3 buckets that are publicly accessible or IAM roles with excessive permissions.
  • Detect malware and vulnerabilities: CDR can detect malware and vulnerabilities in AWS workloads.

When CDR detects a potential threat, it can alert the security team and provide them with the information they need to investigate and respond to the threat. CDR can also automate certain response actions, such as isolating compromised resources or blocking malicious traffic.

Examples of how CDR for Azure AD can be used to detect and respond to identity-based cyberattacks

  • Detect suspicious sign-in activity: CDR can detect suspicious sign-in activity, such as login attempts from suspicious IP addresses or at unusual times.
  • Detect compromised user accounts: CDR can detect compromised user accounts by looking for unusual activity, such as failed login attempts, changes to account settings, or access to sensitive data.
  • Detect anomalous behavior: CDR can detect anomalous behavior by comparing current activity to historical patterns. For example, CDR can detect if a user is suddenly accessing resources that they have never accessed before.
  • Detect malicious applications: CDR can detect malicious applications that are trying to access Azure AD resources.

When CDR detects a potential threat, it can alert the security team and provide them with the information they need to investigate and respond to the threat. CDR can also automate certain response actions, such as blocking malicious applications or disabling compromised user accounts.

Cloud Detection and Response for Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Environments

Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) for hybrid and multi-cloud environments is a security solution that helps organizations detect and respond to cyberattacks across their on-premises, public cloud, and private cloud environments. It uses a variety of techniques, including artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and behavioral analytics, to identify suspicious activity and threats.

CDR for hybrid and multi-cloud environments is important because it can help organizations overcome the challenges of securing complex and distributed environments. Traditional security solutions are often siloed and designed to protect specific environments, which can make it difficult to detect and respond to attacks that span multiple environments. CDR solutions, on the other hand, provide a unified view of all environments and can detect and respond to attacks more effectively.

Key benefits of using CDR for hybrid and multi-cloud environments

  • Early detection of attacks: CDR solutions can detect attacks early in the kill chain, before they have a chance to cause damage. This is because they use AI and ML to identify patterns and anomalies that may indicate an attack, even if the attacker is using new or unknown techniques.
  • Reduced workload for security teams: CDR solutions can help security teams reduce their workload by automating many of the tasks involved in detecting and responding to attacks. This includes threat hunting, forensics, and automated response.
  • Improved visibility into hybrid and multi-cloud environments: CDR solutions provide a single, unified view of all hybrid and multi-cloud environments, making it easier for security teams to identify and investigate potential threats.

Examples of how CDR for hybrid and multi-cloud environments can be used to detect and respond to cyberattacks
