Stream.Security Events vs AWS Config
Blog post from Stream.Security
In a rapidly evolving cloud environment, particularly within extensive AWS settings, finding a balance between speed and control is critical, with AWS Config and Stream Security offering solutions for managing these dynamic changes. AWS Config is a managed service from AWS that aids in compliance auditing, change management, and troubleshooting by monitoring resource configurations, but it comes with limitations such as complexity, static checks, and potentially high costs. Alternatively, Stream Security presents itself as a more scalable and cost-effective option, providing real-time monitoring and compliance checks through its CloudTwin engine, which models the cloud environment dynamically and contextually. Stream Security emphasizes ease of use with predefined and customizable rules, reducing false positives and offering a collaborative platform for teams managing AWS changes, aiming to improve efficiency in incident investigation and compliance demonstration.
