Early last December 2024, AWS unveiled a powerful new service designed to enhance how organizations prepare for, respond to, and recover from security incidents. This innovative Security Incident Response service leverages automation, streamlined processes, and expert support to provide rapid and effective incident management across the entire lifecycle of a security event.

The AWS Security Incident Response service integrates seamlessly with Amazon GuardDuty, third-party detection solutions, and the AWS Security Hub. It uses automation to triage security signals, analyze findings, and prioritize incidents that require immediate attention.

Customers benefit from 24/7 support through the AWS CIRT, receiving guidance and assistance for incidents ranging from account takeovers to ransomware attacks. The service provides tools for self-service investigation and collaboration, giving customers the flexibility to manage incidents independently or work with third-party security vendors.
