Review on ShieldX by Jacob Richardson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Shieldx is a great solution for IAM based security

I like that you can quickly assign custom policies without having to write them by hand - this makes it easy for us as we don't have much experience with scripting in Windows so some policy creation time is saved! It would be nice if there was an option from within AWS console (or other managed services) of creating/assigning shieldx profiles directly instead of needing our own script writing skills but overall not many issues at all here. We're using Shield X primarily because its one stop shop solution compared others out their which had multiple components making management difficult across teams when deploying new devices etc.

Pros
  • Easy way deploy pre configured security groups, firewall rules or application control lists into Amazon EC2 instances easily through CLI commands only; no need SSH access unless required.No additional software installation needed..Easy automation via PowerShell scripts too :)
Cons
  • Nothing really comes readily come mind
