How it works

How the integration works

AWS services protect configurations, control access, and monitor activity. But advanced attackers know how to exploit post-authentication blind spots. And they use them to compromise IAM roles, move laterally between accounts, and exfiltrate data.

  1. 01

    Connect

    Into Vectra AI

    Runs natively on AWS and integrates seamlessly with services like Amazon GuardDuty, AWS CloudTrail, AWS Security Lake, and AWS Bedrock.

    3rd party integrations

    Vectra AI watches network, identity and cloud activity across your environment.

  2. 02

    Detect

    Vectra AI finds attacker behavior in that activity, then correlates and prioritizes it.

  3. 03

    Respond

    Into your workflow

    Investigative workflow integrations

    Response action

    Incident management and response integrations

    Your analysts get prioritized detections with the context to act.

FAQs

What to expect with Vectra AI and AWS

What does Vectra AI add to AWS security services?

Vectra AI detects attacker behaviors that occur after authentication, enriching AWS findings with context from network and identity activity.

Does this replace AWS-native security?

No. Vectra AI complements AWS services by detecting active attacker behaviors that native tools alone may miss.

Will this add complexity to my AWS environment?

No. Vectra AI integrates seamlessly with services like Amazon GuardDuty, AWS CloudTrail, AWS Security Lake, and AWS Bedrock to deliver coverage, clarity, and control against advanced cloud attacks, all without adding operational overhead.

Which environments are covered?

Vectra AI extends detection across AWS workloads, IAM, SaaS, on-premises, and hybrid cloud for unified visibility. Learn more about our AWS integrations at: https://support.vectra.ai/vectra/knowledge
