Detective graph issues.

10/09/2023

Amazon Detective is a powerful security investigation service that helps organizations analyze, investigate, and identify the root causes of security findings. At the core of this service is the graph database, which links and visualizes events across AWS accounts. However, like any advanced system, you might face graph issues in Amazon Detective, affecting your ability to investigate incidents efficiently.

Informatix Systems specializes in identifying and resolving graph-related issues in Amazon Detective to help you maintain effective security investigations.

Common Amazon Detective Graph Issues

  1. Incomplete or Missing Data in the Graph
    Sometimes, the Detective graph may not display all relevant resources or relationships. This could stem from misconfigured data sources, IAM permission issues, or ingestion delays.

  2. Slow Graph Performance
    Large volumes of security data can slow down graph rendering and investigation timelines. If your graphs take too long to load or respond, performance tuning is essential.

  3. Permission and Role Errors
    Improper IAM roles or missing permissions can cause graph elements to be hidden or blocked, reducing the visibility necessary for effective investigations.

  4. Graph Ingestion Failures
    Failures in data ingestion from services like GuardDuty, CloudTrail, or VPC Flow Logs can cause inconsistencies in graph visualization.

  5. Time Range or Filter Misconfigurations
    Using incorrect filters or time ranges might make it appear as if certain data is missing when it is being excluded.
