Amazon Web Services (AWS) staked out a play for the enterprise cybersecurity stack with the release of an all-in-one cloud security platform.

AWS Security Hub Extended broadens the hyperscaler’s existing Security Hub offering with the cloud integration of endpoint, identity, email, network, data, browser, and security operations. Partners on the venture include Splunk, CrowdStrike, Proofpoint, and Zscaler, with security foundations from their solutions emitted in the Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework (OCSF) and automatically collected in AWS Security Hub. As with the mainline Hub, the AWS security stalwarts of Amazon GuardDuty and Amazon Inspector are included in the new solution.

The tech giant pointed to simplified procurement and deployment with its Extended offering, as well as improved AI security, automated partner onboarding, and flexible pricing and availability with AWS users able to choose from pay-as-you-go or flat-rate options.

“You told us that managing multiple procurement cycles and vendor negotiations was creating unnecessary complexity, costing you time and resources. In response, we’ve curated these partner offerings for you to establish more comprehensive protection across your entire technology stack through a single, simplified experience,” Channy Yun, principal developer advocate for AWS Cloud, explained in a statement.

With AWS Security Hub Extended, Amazon bolsters its cloud security package in a manner similar to the other hyperscalers.

Google Cloud, for example, recently announced a $400 million agreement with PwC to augment the security operations center (SOC) with AI. On that deal, Mauricio Sanchez, senior director at Dell’Oro Group, commented AI security as becoming embedded within cloud and security architectures rather than emerging as a discrete point solution.

“Partnerships like this are less about near-term revenue and more about shaping reference architectures and buyer expectations around how AI workloads should be secured and governed, particularly as regulatory scrutiny continues to increase," Sanchez said.

Amazon is also building on recent security moves, such as a network firewall built to filter out generative AI traffic. Unveiled last month, the hyperscaler touted the feature as being able to restrict AI access “while reducing operational overhead,” while helping meet regulatory requirements, such as with stipulations of the U.K.’s Online Safety Act and the European Union’s Digital Markets Act.
