AWS Launches New Security Incident Response Service

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has launched the Security Incident Response service, aimed at helping organizations prepare for and recover from cybersecurity incidents such as account takeovers and ransomware attacks. The service automates the triage of incidents using data from Amazon GuardDuty and integrates with third-party tools via AWS Security Hub. Customers benefit from a centralized dashboard for monitoring alerts and can access AWS's Customer Incident Response Team (CIRT) 24/7 for expert support. This initiative addresses the rising complexity of security threats and aims to reduce recovery times, responding to feedback from organizations struggling with incident response. Additionally, it offers features like automated notifications and flexible permissions to streamline communication among stakeholders. The service is currently available in 12 AWS regions worldwide, reflecting AWS's commitment to enhancing cybersecurity measures for its clients.
