AWS GuardDuty

Updated 7 months ago by TruSTAR

This TruSTAR integration for Amazon Web Services (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 Intelligence Report and submits it to a private TruSTAR Enclave.

Features

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