Preface
AWS is a suite of cloud services platform, provides Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) services. AWS helps organizations consume compute power and needed services, all without the need to buy or manage hardware.
But at the same time, the IaaS and SaaS public services presents the organization with new security challenges.
The main challenges and needs are to:
- Get and retain full audit of activities in AWS account
- Retrieve the AWS account activities as IAM users, EC2 changes and data flows, events from PaaS services and many more.
- The granular activities should be available at the organization’s central log or event management system for compliance, investigation or forensic needs.
- Detect security threats and policy violations
What is it
SkyFormation Cloud Connector for AWS, is part of the SkyFormation Cloud Connectors module. It continuously ingests audit events from multiple audit sources in the AWS account, unify the events into a common application events format, enrich the events with needed detection context and send the events to any existing SIEM/SOC system.
How it works
SkyFormation Cloud Connector for AWS retrieves the events from the AWS service through its APIs. Before sending the events to the existing SIEM/SOC system the connector will
- Unify the events into the SkyFormation unified application events format
- Embed the origin event into the SkyFormation event
- Complement the event with missing information
- Enrich the event with detection context as AD identity information
- Encode the resulted event into a standard format as CEF
- Send the event to the existing SIEM/SOC system over syslog
