Amazon Detective Updates

Amazon Detective now supports Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) endpoints via AWS PrivateLink, enabling secure API calls to Detective from within your VPC without Internet traversal. This feature is available in all AWS Regions where Detective is available.

Amazon Detective automatically collects log data from your AWS resources and uses machine learning, statistical analysis, and graph theory to build interactive visualizations for faster and more efficient security investigations. It analyzes trillions of events from multiple data sources to create a unified, interactive view of security events and groups related findings from Amazon GuardDuty, AWS Security Hub, and Amazon Inspector to help security analysts identify and prioritize potential high-severity security risks.

What to do

  • Create a VPC endpoint for Detective through the VPC console, API, or SDK.
  • Read more about Detective's integration with PrivateLink here.
  • Refer to the Amazon Detective User Guide to get started.
