Applies to: AWS Log Forwarder v1.0.10 and above
Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed NoSQL database service that provides fast and predictable performance with scalability. It also offers encryption at rest, which eliminates the operational burden and complexity involved in protecting sensitive data along with options to delete expired items from tables automatically, to help reduce storage usage and the cost of storing data that is no longer relevant.
Netsurion monitors events from Amazon DynamoDB by parsing the AWS CloudTrail logs. Dashboards and reports in Netsurion’s threat protection platform, EventTracker, will track the overall actions triggered related to DynamoDB and its DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) service to keep you informed about its activities. It will trigger alerts whenever an action critical to the application is carried out.
For a new instance, integrate the AWS instance to EventTracker using the EventTracker integrator Lambda function, which will in turn deliver logs to EventTracker from AWS. Once configured to deliver events to EventTracker Manager, the alerts, dashboards, and reports can be configured into EventTracker.
For an already-integrated AWS instance, make sure to update to AWS Log Forwarder to v1.0.10 or above.
