1.2.3 Visualizations to identify anomalies

1.2.3 Visualizations to identify anomalies - Visualizations play a critical role in AWS security by converting complex data into intuitive charts, graphs, and dashboards, making it easier to spot unusual patterns and detect potential threats. Key AWS servicessuch as Amazon CloudWatch, AWS Security Hub, Amazon Detective, and Amazon Athena with visualization tools like QuickSightprovide a range of capabilities for creating, interpreting, and correlating visualizations to highlight anomalies like spikes in API calls or suspicious network activity. Techniques including time-series analysis, threshold-based alerts, comparative views, relationship graphs, and anomaly detection models enable rapid and contextual threat identification. A real-world case study illustrates how these tools were combined to detect and respond to unauthorized data access in a multi-account AWS environment, minimizing data loss and strengthening defenses. The AWS Certified Security - Specialty SCS-C02 exam tests candidates on configuring these services, building dashboards, interpreting findings, and troubleshooting visualizations to ensure accurate, actionable security monitoring. Ultimately, mastering visualizations and their integration across AWS services is essential for achieving proactive threat detection and effective incident response in the cloud.
