Security Hub vs Audit Manager​

For small organizations with not a lot of assets and findings that Security Hub on its own is probably sufficient. For larger organizations or those that have lots of assets and finding, Audit Manager can be extremely helpful on cutting down the noise of everything else and helping your or your external auditors focus on their task at hand.

ScoutSuite​

Scout Suite is an open source multi-cloud security-auditing tool, which enables security posture assessment of cloud environments. Using the APIs exposed by cloud providers, Scout Suite gathers configuration data for manual inspection and highlights risk areas. Rather than going through dozens of pages on the web consoles, Scout Suite presents a clear view of the attack surface automatically.

The following cloud providers are currently supported/planned:

  • Amazon Web Services
  • Microsoft Azure
  • Google Cloud Platform
  • Alibaba Cloud (alpha)
  • Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (alpha)
