In the second installment of our series, we explored how to leverage Amazon SageMaker Studio notebooks with natural language input for effective threat hunting. By utilizing SageMaker Studio, users can automatically generate and execute SQL queries on Amazon Athena, integrating seamlessly with Amazon Bedrock and Amazon Security Lake. The Security Lake service team and their expertise continue to enhance security operations for organizations.
To simplify the deployment of resources, we recently updated our guide on how to set up an Amazon OpenSearch cluster for ingesting logs from Amazon Security Lake. This update, announced on January 30, 2025, aims to provide clearer instructions, ensuring compatibility with OCSF 1.1. As security teams often require diverse log sources across their AWS environments, this deployment facilitates better monitoring and response capabilities.
Moreover, generative AI is becoming increasingly integral to security observability. In our recent post, we discussed how to implement generative AI with Amazon Q in QuickSight, allowing for sophisticated data analysis. As generative AI becomes more familiar to users, businesses are seeking to apply these advancements to their security frameworks.
In a practical example, our two-part series on incident response showcases how to utilize Amazon Security Lake as a primary data source to streamline workflows when responding to security incidents, specifically referencing the Unintended Data Access in Amazon S3 incident response playbook.
As security practices evolve, so too do the methodologies for consuming custom log sources in Amazon Security Lake. This post highlights the challenges that customers face in navigating security telemetry, providing insights into effectively managing and analyzing diverse log data.
For those looking to develop a proof of concept (POC) with Amazon Security Lake, our updated guide now includes newly added data sources for Amazon EKS and AWS WAF log files, allowing for improved log data collection and retention strategies.
Centralizing visibility across hybrid environments has never been more critical. Amazon Security Lake enables streamlined incident response, optimized log retention, and proactive threat detection through AI-driven enhancements.
