Security Monkey is a self-hosted service from Netflix that monitors AWS, GCP, OpenStack, and GitHub organizations for assets and policy changes, alerting on insecure configurations. It provides a web UI to browse accounts and track what changed and when over time.
Use cases
- monitor my AWS account for insecure configurations
- track policy changes across cloud accounts over time
- alert when S3 buckets or IAM policies become insecure
- watch GitHub orgs and repositories for changes
- audit cloud infrastructure changes with a single UI
When to choose
- you are already running it and need reference material
- you need a historical record of cloud asset changes on legacy Python 2.7 infrastructure
When to avoid
- starting a new project - it is end-of-life and in maintenance mode
- AWS-only monitoring - use AWS Config instead
- GCP-only monitoring - use Cloud Asset Inventory instead
- you need Python 3 or active community support
