Frequently asked questions
Expel connects to your AWS environment via native integrations, ingesting CloudTrail, GuardDuty, Security Hub, and VPC Flow Logs. Our analysts monitor for IAM abuse, misconfiguration, unusual resource activity, and data exfiltration across your AWS accounts 24×7, with every finding surfaced in Expel Workbench.
Expel detects IAM key compromise, EC2 cryptomining, S3 data exfiltration, Lambda abuse, role assumption attacks, and exposed credentials in code repositories. Detection logic is informed by real AWS attack patterns observed across our customer base.
Expel supports AWS organizations with multi-account visibility, ingesting CloudTrail, GuardDuty, and Security Hub findings across all accounts from a single integration. This is critical for enterprises with complex AWS structures, where threats often move between accounts to escalate privileges or exfiltrate data.
Yes. Expel extends detection to serverless and container workloads in AWS by monitoring Lambda execution logs, ECS task activity, and container runtime behavior for suspicious patterns including privilege escalation, unexpected network connections, and data access anomalies. Coverage moves with your workloads as they migrate to serverless.
Expel’s AWS monitoring covers detective controls required by CIS AWS Benchmarks, NIST CSF, SOC 2, and HIPAA Security Rule. Workbench maintains audit-ready logs of all analyst actions and detections, and Expel’s detection content is mapped to specific framework controls, making it easier to demonstrate compliance posture to auditors.
