Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced the general availability of AWS IoT Device Defender, a fully managed service that helps customers secure their IoT device fleets.
AWS IoT Device Defender (originally introduced in preview in November 2017) has three main benefits:
- Audit Device Configurations for Security Vulnerabilities: AWS IoT Device Defender audits IoT configurations associated with customers’ devices against a set of defined IoT security best practices so they know exactly where there are security gaps. They can run audits on a continuous or ad-hoc basis. AWS IoT Device Defender comes with security best practices that customers can select and run as part of the audit.
- Continuously Monitor Device Behavior to Identify Anomalies: AWS IoT Device Defender detects anomalies in device behavior that may indicate a compromised device by monitoring high-value security metrics from the cloud and AWS IoT Core and comparing them against defined expected device behavior.
- Receive Alerts and Take Action: AWS IoT Device Defender publishes security alerts to the AWS IoT Console, Amazon CloudWatch, and Amazon SNS when an audit fails or when behavior anomalies are detected so customers can investigate and determine the root cause.
AWS IoT Device Defender is available in the following regions:
US East (Northern Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), EU (Frankfurt), EU (Ireland), EU (London), APAC (Seoul), APAC (Singapore), APAC (Sydney) and APAC (Tokyo). Customers can start using it today.
Regarding pricing, customers pay only for what they use, and there are no minimum fees or mandatory service usage. The audit and detect features are billed separately.
