Announcing Twingate & Amazon S3

We’re excited to share the new Twingate and Amazon S3 integration

Amazon S3 is cloud object storage with industry-leading scalability, data availability, security, and performance. With this new integration, users can configure Twingate to send audit logs to an Amazon S3 bucket, which in turn means they can connect that data to their SIEM of choice.

Twingate Audit Logs are crucial for both troubleshooting and investigating suspicious activity. These logs include create, delete, edit, and connect events across a wide set of categories:

  • Access

  • API Keys

  • Devices

  • Device Integrations

  • Device Security

  • Secure DNS (includes DNS-over-HTTPS and DNS filtering)

  • Network (includes Remote Networks, Connectors, and Resources)

  • Policies

  • Service Accounts

  • Users & Groups

While this data is useful on its own, the new Amazon S3 integration significantly expands these insights by enabling admins to centralize their data management in S3, and in turn connect Twingate Audit Logs to any SIEM or activity monitoring tool. 

Security & Flexibility at Scale

As organizations grow and generate more data, the ability to seamlessly scale storage while keeping data secure is paramount. Amazon S3’s scalability ensures that organizations can store and manage their Twingate Audit Logs efficiently, without worrying about storage limitations. Plus, S3 provides encryption options for data at rest and in transit, ensuring that Twingate Audit Logs remain secure throughout their lifecycle.

More than that, flexibility is a key focus at Twingate - your tools need to work for you. Organizations need a flexible environment to customize storage configurations based on their specific needs, and Amazon S3 does just that. With this new integration, you can leverage that flexibility specifically for your Twingate Audit Log data.

It’s important to keep in mind that this flexibility extends beyond Amazon S3 itself. If you’re a Splunk customer, you can now run SPL searches, create dashboards, reports, correlate Twingate data, and even search Twingate Audit Logs at rest in S3, all without needing to connect Twingate and Splunk directly. 

Streamline troubleshooting & compliance

Auditing data can be a pain, whether it's for troubleshooting or compliance issues. By using S3 as a centralized tool, you can significantly reduce the resourcing required to isolate errors, suspicious activity, and more.

Because Twingate data syncs automatically every 5 minutes, you’re able to further reduce mistakes by removing the possibility of human error that comes with manual data transfers.

Conclusion

Comprehensive visibility into your network is essential to staying secure and productive, and we’re excited to share this key step in making it easier than ever to programmatically sync key network data across systems. Twingate Audit Logs provide significant insights into your network, and we’re working towards an even more comprehensive integration with Amazon S3 through Network Event syncing, coming very soon!

You can explore this new integration in the documents page or check out the integration overview

Not a Twingate customer yet? If you’re interested in taking Twingate for a spin, you can request a personalized demo from our team or try it out yourself for free.

Rapidly implement a modern Zero Trust network that is more secure and maintainable than VPNs.
