Setting up secure access between Enterprise Splunk to external 3rd party AWS S3

[ran]

Hi all,

I am new to SPLUNK and would appreciate some community wisdom. We are trying to get data from an external AWS s3 bucket (hosted and managed by 3rd party supplier) onto our internal enterprise SPLUNK instance. We do not have any AWS accounts. 

We have considered whitelisting but it is not secure enough.

The supplier does not use AWS firehose

Any ideas?

Is this what you're looking for?

Not sure if this will work because the Add-On requires us to to have AWS account. 

We don't have or manage any AWS accounts.

I don't think you can access a bucket without having any accounts (and subsequently being given access to that bucket). But I might be wrong, I'm not an AWS expert.
