About Amazon Detective
Analyze and visualize security data to rapidly get to the root cause of potential security issues. Amazon Detective makes it easy to analyze, investigate, and quickly identify the root cause of potential security issues or suspicious activities. Amazon Detective automatically collects log data from your AWS resources and uses machine learning, statistical analysis, and graph theory to build a linked set of data that enables you to easily conduct faster and more efficient security investigations. AWS security services like Amazon GuardDuty, Amazon Macie, and AWS Security Hub as well as partner security products can be used to identify potential security issues, or findings. These services are really helpful in alerting you when something is wrong and pointing out where to go to fix it. But sometimes there might be a security finding where you need to dig a lot deeper and analyze more information to isolate the root cause and take action.

Amazon DevOps Guru
Amazon DevOps Guru is a machine learning (ML)-powered service designed to make it easy to improve the operational performance and availability of an application. DevOps Guru helps detect behaviors that deviate from normal operating patterns, so you can identify operational errors long before they affect your customers. DevOps Guru uses ML models with information collected over years by Amazon.com and AWS Operational Excellence to identify anomalous application behavior (for example, increased latency, error rates, resource limitations, etc.) and helps detect critical errors that could potentially cause service interruptions. When the DevOps Guru identifies a critical issue, it automatically sends an alert and provides a summary of related anomalies, the likely root cause, and context on when and where the issue occurred.

Amazon GuardDuty
Amazon GuardDuty is a threat detection service that continuously monitors for malicious activity and unauthorized behavior to protect your AWS accounts, workloads, and data stored in Amazon S3. With the cloud, the collection and aggregation of account and network activities is simplified, but it can be time consuming for security teams to continuously analyze event log data for potential threats. With GuardDuty, you now have an intelligent and cost-effective option for continuous threat detection in AWS. The service uses machine learning, anomaly detection, and integrated threat intelligence to identify and prioritize potential threats. GuardDuty analyzes tens of billions of events across multiple AWS data sources, such as AWS CloudTrail event logs, Amazon VPC Flow Logs, and DNS logs. With a few clicks in the AWS Management Console, GuardDuty can be enabled with no software or hardware to deploy or maintain.

Centrally view and manage security alerts and automate security checks. AWS Security Hub gives you a comprehensive view of your security alerts and security posture across your AWS accounts.
