AWS intros AppFabric to manage and secure applications

Amazon Web Services introduced a new AppFabric service that aggregates and normalizes log data from apps like Asana, Slack, and Zoom, as well as productivity suites such as Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, to increase application observability and reduce operational costs associated with building and maintaining point-to-point integrations. 

The new AWS AppFabric service automatically provides a standardized set of security and operational data for every connected app. AWS says this improves an organization’s security posture by connecting SaaS applications to security tools like Logz.io, Netskope, Netwitness, Rapid7, and Splunk. AppFabric aggregates and normalizes security data using the Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework (OCSF).

AWS also unveiled a generative artificial intelligence (AI) feature that will use large language models (LLMs) and content from multiple SaaS applications from the common API layer to automatically make suggestions, execute tasks, or generate insights across applications, and return results within the user’s preferred application.
