How AWS uses active defense to help protect customers from security threats
- AWS uses internal threat intelligence tools like Sonaris to stay ahead of potential threats and protect customers quickly when activities could be potentially harmful to their business.
- Sonaris is an active defense tool that analyses potentially harmful network traffic and restricts threat actors who are hunting for exploitable vulnerabilities.
- Sonaris identifies and automatically restricts unauthorized scanning and S3 bucket discovery, reducing risk for AWS customers.
- Sonaris applies heuristic, statistical, and machine learning algorithms to vast amounts of summarized metadata and service health telemetry.
- Sonaris uses threat intelligence data from MadPot, which emulates hundreds of different services and mimics customer accounts, to increase its accuracy for automatically restricting known malicious vulnerability enumeration attacks.
- Sonaris has been effectively protecting customers from a large active botnet known as Dota3 that has been scanning the internet for vulnerable hosts and devices to install cryptominer malware.
- AWS is committed to making the internet a safer place for customers, and encourages feedback through comments, customer support, or preferred channels.
- As organizations continue to migrate to the cloud, AWS continuously invests and innovates in advancing its security capabilities to tackle emerging threats.
- Sonaris is an example of how AWS proactively mitigates potential threats to prevent security incidents from disrupting customers' businesses.
