Hey everyone, first time posting here. I'm on my second week of the night shift rotation and my team is looking at DSPM (Data Security Posture Management) tools. We're an AWS shop, mostly EC2, S3, and RDS.
My manager asked me to look into Palo Alto Prisma Cloud's DSPM and Wiz's DSPM offering. I've been reading docs and watching demos until my eyes glaze over, but it's a lot to take in. Both seem to say they do the same core thing—find sensitive data and track its risk across AWS.
From a newbie SRE perspective, I'm trying to figure out which one would actually be easier for us to live with day-to-day (and night-to-night 😅). I'm worried about alert fatigue and having yet another complicated dashboard to stare at.
Some specific things I'm curious about:
* How easy is it to set up the scanning? Is it just a CloudFormation stack, or more involved?
* Which one gives clearer, actionable alerts? I don't want to page the on-call for a low-severity finding.
* Does either play nicer with our existing SLO tracking or PagerDuty workflows?
If anyone has run both or migrated from one to the other in a pure AWS context, I'd love to hear your real-world take. Especially on the operational overhead. Thanks!
