AWS Launches Security Incident Response Service
AWS has introduced a new service to help businesses recover faster from cyberattacks. This comes as the IMF predicts cyberattack costs to reach \$23 trillion by 2027, a significant increase from the \$8.4 trillion in 2022. Amazon Connect also leverages AI for enhanced customer service.
The service, AWS Security Incident Response, aims to streamline incident response by providing a central platform for managing security incidents. It integrates with Amazon GuardDuty and other third-party tools, offering automated triage and remediation capabilities. Users can customize alert settings, manage permissions, and analyze historical data. For more on secure data transfer, see AWS Data Transfer Terminal.
A key feature is the proactive incident response option, which allows the service to automatically investigate and remediate findings. Unresolved issues are escalated to designated stakeholders. While similar to offerings from startups like FireHydrant and Rootly, AWS emphasizes its dedicated customer incident response team and seamless integration with existing AWS security solutions. This new service could be a valuable addition for those seeking enhanced mobile spyware protection.
Available now through the AWS management console and APIs, AWS Security Incident Response is already being used by organizations like the PGA Tour. This move positions AWS to capitalize on the growing incident response market, projected to reach \$89.09 billion by 2030.
