Amazon Detective is now generally available

Posted on: Mar 31, 2020

Amazon Web Services Inc. (AWS) announced the general availability of Amazon Detective, a new service that makes it easy to analyze, investigate, and quickly identify the root cause of potential security issues or suspicious activities. Amazon Detective automatically collects log data from your AWS resources and uses machine learning, statistical analysis, and graph theory to build interactive visualizations that enable you to conduct faster and more efficient security investigations. 

Amazon Detective can analyze trillions of events from multiple data sources such as Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Flow Logs, AWS CloudTrail, and Amazon GuardDuty, and automatically creates a unified, interactive view of your resources, users, and the interactions between them over time. With this unified view, you can visualize all the details and context in one place to identify the underlying reasons for the findings, drill down into relevant historical activities, and quickly determine the root cause. 

Amazon Detective is available in 14 commercial regions. To learn more and get started with Amazon Detective, visit our product page.
