EagleEye leverages cutting-edge AWS serverless technologies to provide robust, real-time monitoring and automated responses to critical events. This feature is named “EagleEye” to symbolize its ability to continuously and meticulously watch over your cloud infrastructure, ensuring that no suspicious activity goes unnoticed.
EagleEye captures and analyzes detailed logs of activities within your AWS environment, such as API actions related to S3 bucket creation or deletion. These logs, captured by AWS CloudTrail, are then monitored by Amazon EventBridge, which is configured with rules to detect specific events that could indicate potential security threats or compliance violations.
Once a relevant event is detected, it triggers a series of automated processes to ensure timely notification and efficient handling. Notifications are sent through Amazon SNS, which distributes the alerts to both an SQS queue for batch processing and a Lambda function for immediate action. This dual approach ensures that immediate threats are addressed swiftly while preparing for more comprehensive, scheduled analyses of event batches.
The system is designed to handle high volumes of events efficiently, scheduling CloudWatch events to trigger further processing only when necessary, thus optimizing resource use and minimizing costs. By aggregating and forwarding these events to our platform, Eagle Eye ensures that your security team is always informed and ready to take action.
