Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) are a growing concern in cloud environments like AWS, where security perimeters have changed with the rise of cloud computing platforms. APTs use advanced techniques to infiltrate cloud infrastructure, often staying undetected for months or years, and can be motivated by nation-state threats, cybercriminals, financial gain, or social disruption. To detect APTs, organizations can leverage AWS services such as GuardDuty and Security Hub, which continuously monitor for malicious activity and provide automated response and remediation steps. Effective threat hunting requires access to massive datasets of log data, which can be leveraged using security data lake solutions like ChaosSearch to analyze traffic patterns, IP addresses, and endpoint activities, ultimately achieving a proactive security posture and potentially saving millions of dollars by shortening the duration of attacks.
