This is a really good addition. AWS has all this data, so it's good to see they're putting it to good use. We had just launched a service called CloudSploit Events [1] that does much the same thing, but I think now we'll be able to treat this as an additional data source to build out our report data using the machine-learning and vast expertise of AWS.

How much of your product can customers self-host? I know the scanner is at least partly available as open source, but we would want support.

"Alert Logic developed Cloud Insight Essentials (CIE) to apply deeper understanding and deliver actionable intelligence based on the GuardDuty findings. It is fully-integrated with Amazon GuardDuty and provides you with the context you need to remediate and prevent exposures. You get clear threat explanations with topology visualizations of impacted resources including relevant tags and VPC (virtual private cloud) location."

Technically you can host the scanner yourself by running it as a Lambda function, but we don't have a full featured AMI/self hosted installation with the dashboard and other components at this point. We have done support-only deals in the past where we'll support your use of the open source scans, but full disclosure, you'd be missing out on a lot of the UI and API pieces that the SaaS has. Other companies have taken the open source part and run it entirely on their own with their own added tools, so it is possible. Happy to answer more questions or you can reach out to support@cloudsploit.com and we can discuss the options if you're interested in going that route.
