Silicon Angle – Zeus Kerravala
The RSA Conference 2024 heavily focused on artificial intelligence (AI) in security, with AI being prevalent across keynotes, sessions, and the show floor
However, it is crucial to understand that data is the driving force behind AI
Amazon Web Services Inc. (AWS) announced Amazon Security Lake last year to provide efficient security data management for proactive threat analysis
At RSAC, AWS released several updates for the product, which has seen rapid adoption
Key points:
1) Amazon Security Lake is a centralized repository for security data from various sources, streamlining investigation and response to security events.
2) AWS collaborated with top security companies to develop the Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework (OCSF), an open-source security framework with over 700 participants from more than 200 organizations.
3) Security Lake provides enhanced visibility and efficiency for security teams, enabling them to respond more effectively to security events and improve overall security posture.
4) Companies like Interpublic Group and SEEK use Security Lake to consolidate and analyze security-related data, identify potential security incidents faster, and scale security operations more effectively.
5) Security Lake helps with log retention strategies for compliance requirements and integrates with Amazon Detective for root cause analysis of security findings and suspicious activity.
6) Applying generative AI to data in Security Lake enhances threat-hunting and incident-response practices, speeding up security investigations and responses.
7) Recent updates to Security Lake include new data sources, support for OCSF version 1.1, and storage in Apache Iceberg tables for more efficient data retrieval
AWS’ Security Lake demonstrates the benefits of tighter product integration within its suite and with partners, enabling customers to leverage various Amazon services and work with leading partners in cybersecurity, SaaS, and service companies.
