AlienVault Unified Security Management (USM) for AWS Control Node
AlienVault | 2.0Linux/Unix, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - 64-bit Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Path of Least Resistance
Getting manageable security infrastructure up and running in the cloud can be painful. There are a lot of intricacies, details, and work-arounds that drastically slow down a secure deployment. Security infrastructure that seems fairly basic in a physical data center, can get tricky within AWS. Fortunately, AlienVault takes care of a lot of the pain and heavy lifting. I was admittedly skeptical of how easy it would be to get AlienVault up and going, but I quickly got AlienVault up and going in a little more than 5 minutes. Afterwards, I was able to dive right in and immediately have log aggregation *and* start scans within my VPC. Is AlienVault perfect and will solve all of your security problems, no? But there are no perfect security tools. All of them require some bit of tuning and administration. AlienVault, however, greatly reduced my time to get up and running and I'd definitely recommend those running in AWS to also take it for a spin.
