AWS Security Hub expands coverage to Microsoft Azure and beefs up AI protections
Amazon Web Services Inc. is branching out further into multicloud security with the launch of new capabilities that extend its protections to Microsoft Corp.’s Azure cloud platform.
The new features were announced today alongside a host of artificial intelligence-focused updates to AWS Security Hub, as the company strives to transform it into a comprehensive, full-stack control plane that spans fragmented cloud infrastructures.
In addition to extending its security management to Microsoft Azure, the company introduced new Amazon GuardDuty AI Protection tools aimed at bolstering the security of intelligent applications, and a new inventory system that gives organizations full visibility into all of their AI assets.
The updates were unveiled by AWS Director of Security Service Michael Fuller, who said that the company is witnessing a fundamental shift in where enterprise security is headed. He explained that traditional security tools are designed to aggregate data into a single dashboard. But as faster and more sophisticated cyberattack techniques emerge, he believes that simply gathering all of this data is no longer enough.
