AWS announces AWS Security Incident Response for general availability
Today, AWS announces the general availability of AWS Security Incident Response, a new service that helps you prepare for, respond to, and recover from security events. This service offers automated monitoring and investigation of security findings to free up your resources from routine tasks, communication and collaboration features to streamline response coordination, and direct 24/7 access to the AWS Customer Incident Response Team (CIRT).
Security Incident Response integrates with existing detection services, such as Amazon GuardDuty, and third-party tools through AWS Security Hub to rapidly review security alerts, escalate high-priority findings, and, with your permission, implement containment actions. It reduces the number of alerts your team needs to analyze, saving time and allowing your security personnel to focus on strategic initiatives. The service centralizes all incident-related communications, documentation, and actions, making coordinated incident response across internal and external stakeholders possible and reducing the time to coordinate from hours to minutes. You can preconfigure incident response team members, set up automatic notifications, manage case permissions, and use communication tools like video conferencing and in-console messaging during security events. By accessing the service through a single, centralized dashboard in the AWS Management Console, you can monitor active cases, review resolved security incident cases, and track key metrics, such as the number of triaged events and mean time to resolution, in real time. If you require specialized expertise, you can connect 24/7 to the AWS CIRT in only one step.
