AWS Announces General Availability of Amazon Security Lake

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has recently announced the general availability of Amazon Security Lake, a service that automatically centralises an organisation’s security data from across their AWS environments, leading SaaS providers, on-premises environments, and cloud sources into a purpose-built data lake, so customers can act on security data faster and simplify security data management across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. 

Amazon Security Lake is generally available today in US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), and South America (São Paulo) with availability in additional AWS Regions coming soon.

Amazon Security Lake converts and conforms incoming security data to the Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework (OCSF) open standard, making it easier for security teams to automatically collect, combine, and analyse security data from more than 80 sources, including AWS, security partners, and analytics providers.

Amazon Security Lake is part of a broad set of AWS Cloud security services that build on AWS’s secure infrastructure to help make it the most flexible and secure cloud trusted by millions of customers, including some of the most security-sensitive organisations, and is supported by a broad community of security partners to help customers elevate their security in the cloud. 

“Security has been our top priority since the very beginning, when we were designing to meet the needs of the most security-sensitive organisations. We also know that customers need trusted partners to extend the benefits of the cloud and make sure their organisations are secure end-to-end. 

“With more than 80 sources providing data to Amazon Security Lake, security teams can achieve greater visibility into potential security threats and how to respond to them, further protecting the workloads, applications, and data that are critical to driving business forward,” Jon Ramsey, vice president for Security Services at AWS, said.
