Amazon Security Lake is a service that automatically centralises an organisation’s security data from across their AWS environments, SaaS providers, on-premises storage, and cloud sources into a purpose-built data lake.

Amazon Security Lake converts and conforms incoming security data to the Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework open standard, making it easier for security teams to automatically collect, combine, and analyse security data from more than 80 sources, including AWS, its 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 that is trusted by millions of customers – including some of the most security-sensitive organisations. It is supported by a broad community of security partners to help customers elevate their security in the cloud.

Amazon Security Lake aggregates and optimises large volumes of disparate log and event data to enable faster threat detection, investigation, and response so organisations can effectively address potential issues quickly using their preferred analytics tools.

Jon Ramsey, vice president of Security Services at AWS said, “Security has been our top priority since the very beginning. 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 businesses forward,” added Ramsey.

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