Amazon Detective makes it easy to analyze, investigate, and quickly identify the root cause of potential security issues or suspicious activities. Amazon Detective automatically collects log data from your AWS resources and uses machine learning, statistical analysis, and graph theory to build a linked set of data that enables you to easily conduct faster and more efficient security investigations

Do you want to design and build the next generation of big data security analysis? Systems that display isolated security findings or alerts are showing the tip of the iceberg. Our innovative, graph-based security analytics approach lets users see what’s below the waterline.

Analysts ask “I received this security alert – now what?” Our service combines security log data and threat detection events into a single view, providing graph visualizations and algorithms to answer analyst questions, triage, and investigate incidents.

Analysts can use time series analytics to get insight into attacker tactics, and explore incident blast radius. These capabilities are powered by our distinctive security behavior graph a materialized, pre-joined, aggregated view of activity over time.

The UI is built with cutting edge technologies such as React, Redux, and libraries like D3. This is not a “fill in the forms” UI; it is visually expressive, intuitive and unique. A customer-delighting user experience is a central part of our offering, and innovative UI development is a substantial part of our mission as we continue to develop new features and expand our capabilities.
