Collect AWS Macie logs

Supported in:

This document explains how to ingest AWS Macie logs to Google Security Operations. AWS Macie is a security service that uses machine learning to automatically discover, classify, and protect sensitive data. This integration will allow you to send Macie logs to Google SecOps for enhanced analysis and monitoring.

    4. Click Copy S3 URI and save it.

Configure a feed in Google SecOps to ingest AWS Macie logs

  1. Go to SIEM Settings > Feeds.
  2. Click Add new.
  3. In the Feed name field, enter a name for the feed (for example, AWS Macie Logs).
  4. Select Amazon S3 as the Source type.
  5. Select AWS Macie as the Log type.
  6. Click Next.
  7. Specify values for the following input parameters:

    • Region: the region where the Amazon S3 bucket is located.
    • S3 URI: the bucket URI.
      • s3://your-log-bucket-name/
        • Replace your-log-bucket-name with the actual name of the bucket.
    • URI is a: select Directory or Directory which includes subdirectories.
    • Source deletion options: select the deletion option according to your preference.

    • Access Key ID: the User access key with access to the S3 bucket.

    • Secret Access Key: the User secret key with access to the S3 bucket.
