Netskope announces Amazon Security Lake integration for faster threat detection

Cybersecurity firm Netskope has announced the integration of its Intelligent Security Service Edge (SSE) platform with AWS’ Amazon Security Lake to detect and investigate threats faster. It will also simplify security data management across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

Having visibility across all security data sources including on-prem and cloud is important to identify potential threats. It can be done by enabling logging across security infrastructure. Companies, however, face the challenge of incompatible data formats and a lack of centralised storage logs for useful analysis.

To this end, the new integration will allow Netskope customers to export logs from the SSE platform to Amazon Security Lake. Amazon Security Lake converts and conforms the incoming security data to  the Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework (OCSF). Developed by Amazon, along with its cybersecurity partners, OCSF is a standard industry framework for common security events.

“Netskope has helped thousands of customers improve their security posture through the use of our Netskope Intelligent SSE platform. By meeting the rigorous standards in support of Amazon Security Lake, organizations can have greater confidence in Netskope's deep technical expertise on AWS and our proven track record in securing even the most complex cloud environments,” said  Andy Horwitz, vice president of business development, Netskope.

Amazon Security Lake makes it easier for security teams to collect, combine, and analyse security data from over 80 sources, including AWS. Last month, AWS announced the general availability of Amazon Security Lake. Over 55 customers including Cribl, CrowdStrike, Datadog, SentinelOne, Splunk, and Wiz, already integrate with Amazon Security Lake. Last week, cybersecurity firm Trellix also announced its integration with the purpose-built data lake.
