AWS GuardDuty

Updated 1 month ago by Sachit Soni

This TruSTAR integration for AWS is an AWS Lambda function that is automatically triggered every time a AWS Guard Duty Finding is fired. It converts the Finding into a TruSTAR Intel Report and submits that report to a private TruSTAR enclave.

Features

  • Send Cloud watch events into a TruSTAR enclave for enrichment and triage.
