AWS Security Hub is it's own unique program that I have used. I haven't used anything similar to it and it was worth it to try out. However, for those that want to keep for long, it will be very heavy in term of budget and resource that they have to provide.

AWS Security Hub is mainly for protecting your software, video games, web application, etc... from external digital threats. This is a must for all software out there that can afford it. This also require a decent amount of resources to mitigate problems so that the monitoring page isn't overloaded. So overall, a large amount of budget and manpower is required to maintain this product.

It checks many boxes when it comes to security. It allows you to see all the DB activity that goes on, report on it, and send it to SIEM. The analytics part extends this product even more. The investigation dashboard makes it easier to find outliers or specifics without running queries or reports.

Usability
AWS always good with usability and same here for AWS Security Hub. A lot of good documentation is available to read and configure your own. We also started with looking at the videos and documentation to configure automation for our compliance checks. And to configure there are very less steps to be followed which is a very good thing for faster configuration.

It might look complex in the beginning but once you get hold of it by going through all of the documentation then it seems to be very smooth. The configuration is comparatively easy and the user can understand it on their own without any external help. The overall learning curve is Ok.

Alternatives Considered
AWS stacks up very similarly to Splunk but being that it's an AWS tool it is better able to natively monitor our AWS footprint, unlike splunk which requires an appliance and / or forwarding agent for it to work properly. The same can be said about some other tools like Dynatrace. Dynatrace has a much more pleasant user interface that the senior management seems to like more, but AWS Security Hub has better options, a more straightforward rules engine and is less expensive than both Splunk and Dynatrace

Return on Investment
  • The automated compliance test helped us a lot to get PCIDSS certified so it was a very good return for our investments.
  • Some third party tools we were using were not available for AWS Security Hub automated testing.
  • Easy to configure for faster security automations but if we need detailed reports we should add more tools.
