With the click of a mouse, zoom from orbiting view to the source of a success or challenge and share it instantly with appropriate team members. The Sumo Logic app lets you maximize the power of AWS VPC Flow logging, turning torrents of raw data about the traffic to, from and within your VPC into clear information you can use in real-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But not all, or sometimes even most, traffic in your AWS environment is friendly. Companies like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.symantec.com\/security_response\/landing\/threats.jsp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Symantec react daily<\/a> to an endlessly renewed stream of potential threats ranging from denial of service (DNS) attacks to malware to ransomware, which can assault your data and literally take parts of it hostage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sumo Logic app dashboard instantly addresses top threats, visually sorting malicious traffic by region and tracing it destination IP addresses. By viewing danger trends as they happen and over developing arcs, you can protect your AWS services with proactive defense measures like ACL adjustments, security device upgrades, or additional staff. Sumo Logic makes your AWS VPC Flow problems visible, and thus solvable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-b3rg-column e-col e-col-30cf6e0d31fd8780616c8617a3382c2b2c7f4e3b e-col--content-wrapper  col-sm-12 col-lg-6\"><div class=\"e-img \">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"496\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sumologic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/amazon-vpc-flow-screenshot-1024x496-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10593\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"e-stn e-stn-7c38f1bb1226b513cc2c340296a83248f1c6f7a8 e-stn--repeatable-content-cards e-mt-0 e-pt-30 e-mb-0 e-pb-30\"><style>@media only screen and (max-width: 9999px) {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.e-stn.e-stn-7c38f1bb1226b513cc2c340296a83248f1c6f7a8 { \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tbackground-color: #f8f8f8;
