Overview
The Vectra Sensors are part of the Vectra Platform. Deployed in conjunction with Amazon VPC Traffic Mirroring or VxLAN packet brokers, they monitor and send session metadata generated by connections in AWS deployments in order to detect hidden threats without the need for endpoint agents. Please note - Vectra Sensors requires an operational Vectra install.

Cognito Sensor
The Cognito Sensor is a component of the Cognito Platform. The Sensor is deployed in the customer's VPC. It receives network traffic from VPC traffic mirrors or VxLAN based packet brokers, then extracts session metadata and sends the metadata to the Cognito Brain which may be on-premise or in the cloud.
CloudFormation Template (CFT)
AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."
Version release notes
This release is for customers with existing Cognito Brain instances running version 8.7 and above. Please upgrade Brain instances to version 8.7 before continuing.
Additional details
Usage instructions
Verify your Cognito Brain is running version 7.8 or higher. Retrieve the IP Address of your Cognito Brain and the Sensor Registration Token from the Settings page under the Sensor section. Deploy Cognito Sensor from AWS Marketplace, and provide the IP address of the Cognito Brain and the Sensor Registration token. The Sensor's mgtSubnet needs access to ports 22 and 443 on the Cognito Brain. After the instance launches, it will attempt to pair with the Brain IP provided, following the normal pairing procedure. Log in to the Cognito Brain, browse to Manage page, and select the Sensor tab. Find the newly "Available" Sensor and select Pair. See the "Resources" section in the Cognito Brain UI for a copy of the complete setup documentation.
