Alert Logic Unveils Cloud Insight Essentials and Integration with Amazon GuardDuty

Alert Logic announced at the AWS re:Invent conference, the availability of Alert Logic Cloud Insight Essentials. Architected to support the newly launched Amazon GuardDuty, the new Alert Logic service helps users continuously identify and fix configurations of their Amazon Web Services (AWS) environments that don’t meet security best practices and be alerted to active threats.

Cloud Insight Essentials allows users to take full and fast advantage of Amazon GuardDuty findings by enriching, prioritising and providing recommendations for efficient remediation actions for responding to and preventing attacks targeting workloads on AWS.

Amazon GuardDuty is a continuous security monitoring service that identifies unexpected and potentially malicious activity including escalation of privileges, use of exposed credentials or communication with malicious IPs, URLs, or domains.

Cloud Insight Essentials arms Amazon GuardDuty customers with the context needed to remediate by adding clear threat explanations with topology visualisations of impacted resources including tags and VPC location.

Cloud Insight Essentials delivers real-time summaries and interactive reports extending Amazon GuardDuty findings and helps customers plan their immediate response, including security improvements to eliminate exposures.

Cloud Insight Essentials provides AWS users with additional visibility to both prevent and respond to active threats, packaged at an aggressive price point and accessible in minutes on AWS Marketplace. Cloud Insight Essentials includes capabilities for continuous assessment of resource configuration exposures, enrichment of Amazon GuardDuty findings and guided remediation steps.

For an additional cost per instance per hour, Cloud Insight Essentials users can also launch agentless software vulnerability scanning for continuous assessment of software, applications and workloads deployed on AWS.
