AWS Security Monitoring DEMO

Purpose

The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Security Monitoring application is a comprehensive tool primarily focused on security use cases. Here, you can analyze the general status of an AWS environment from an operational standpoint.

Security Monitoring uses a single pane of glass approach, unifying data across several sources into one easy-to-use view. This simplifies the diagnostics of an AWS environment, facilitating the analysis of running instances as well as their performance and health in real-time.

Prerequisites

To use the AWS Security Monitor, you must first meet all access requirements to the associated technologies. Having met these requirements, to access the AWS Security Monitor, you must have the following data sources available in your domain:

• cloud.aws.cloudtrail ^{learn more}

• cloud.aws.cloudtrail.events ^{learn more}

Open ServiceOps map

Once you have installed the map, you can use the Open button at the top right of the card in Exchange to access Service Operations with the map open, where you can work with it as required. Application-type maps will also have a shortcut in the Applications menu of the Navigation pane as if they were a standalone app.

You can also access Service Operations via the Navigation pane (Applications → Service Operations) and then select the map from the list of available domain or global maps.
