AWS Seeds

It’s time to start using fully automated, cloud native deceptions in your AWS tenant

AWS Seeds are cloud-native decoys that mimic your real AWS-hosted data and assets. Strategically planted in your environment, these decoys are indistinguishable from legitimate data to attackers.The catch? They’re entirely fake and exist solely to act as traps. If someone interacts with them, it’s an immediate signal that something’s wrong.

The cloud has become the backbone of modern businesses. Amazon Web Services (AWS) powers countless organisations, hosting critical data and applications. But with this convenience comes a unique set of risks:

  • Misconfigurations leading to exposed data.
  • Sophisticated attackers targeting cloud environments.
  • Increased difficulty detecting insider threats or unauthorised access.

We created AWS Seeds to address these challenges head-on. Traditional cloud security tools focus on prevention—but what happens when something slips through? AWS Seeds are designed to detect breaches in real time and provide organisations with the visibility they need to act swiftly and decisively.

What Have We Built?

  • An AWS Deployment Integration
    By connecting your AWS account and the seedata platform, you automate all functionality to run unmanned and directly from the seedata.io platform.
  • CoPilot
    We will run a read only scan of your account, so we know what seed types and configuration to suggest.
  • A Catalogue Of Seed Types
    Recognizing that we all use different services within AWS, we’ve built a range of different seed types. Take your pick from:
    • S3 Buckets
    • SSM Parameters
    • Secrets
    • EC2 Instances
    • DynamoDB Tables
    • IAM Roles and users 
  • Automated Planting And Retiring
    Using AWS native services, we can create a deployment that blends in with real estate and automatically retires old seeds then replaces then with new one, ensuring fresh and realistics traps at all times.

    What Do Our AWS Seeds Do?

    • Detect Data Exfiltration in Real Time
      AWS Seeds ensure that if your cloud data is accessed without authorisation, the decoy data is stolen alongside it. The moment an attacker interacts with it, Seedata.io generates an alert.
    • Provide Actionable Intelligence
      With AWS Seeds, you don’t just know that a breach occurred—you know how, where, and by whom. This forensic insight accelerates response times and strengthens your security posture.
    • Protect Against Insider Threats
      Insiders often have access to sensitive information. By integrating AWS Seeds, you can monitor and detect suspicious interactions with decoy data, even from authorised users.
    • Seamless Cloud Integration
      Built specifically for AWS, our seeds deploy quickly and integrate with your existing cloud architecture. Whether you use S3 buckets, RDS instances, or other AWS services, we’ve got you covered.
