AWS IoT Device Defender Supports Mitigation Actions for Audit Results

Posted on: Aug 6, 2019

AWS IoT Device Defender now supports the ability for customers to apply mitigation actions to audit findings. This feature enables customers to use predefined mitigation actions or customize them and apply them at scale. With this release, customers can choose from the following set of predefined mitigation actions to automate a response to findings from an audit: add things to thing group, enable IoT logging, publish to SNS topic, replace default policy version, update CA certificate, and update device certificate. You can use mitigation actions by using the AWS IoT Console, AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) or APIs.

Mitigation Actions are available today in all regions where AWS IoT Device Defender is available at no additional cost to Device Defender pricing. For more information on how to get started, refer to the AWS IoT Device Defender Developer Guide.
