A godsend for cloud auditing and security monitoring
What do you like best?
Warden gives us detailed insight into our AWS infrastructure, with easy-to-action insights. One-click remediation makes solving the majority of issues trivial, and the frequent addition of rules keeps us at the cutting edge of best practices. The UI itself is easy to navigate and use. Most importantly though - Horangi's customer service is exceptional. They are always willing to hear feedback, provide support, or discuss feature requests in their roadmap.
What do you dislike?
At this point - there isn't much to really dislike. Having a larger set of features is always nice, but as is the case in any rapidly developing startup, these things take time.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
We've been able to understand AWS best practices, our own security setup, and immediately action security holes/issues. AWS includes a litany of configuration options and it's not always easy to know what best-in-class configurations are. Warden gives us deep insight into this area with easy-to-understand rationales and explanations. Along these same lines, with engineers frequently changing setup and developing rapidly, it's easy for bad configurations to make it into production. Warden's scanning capability alerts us to these potential issues quickly.
