Overview

This Guidance demonstrates how to establish a comprehensive, automated forensics orchestration workflow for Security Operations Centers using AWS services. It helps organizations rapidly respond to potential security breaches by automating critical forensics processes for Amazon EC2 instances and EKS clusters. The solution shows how to implement automated isolation of affected resources, capture essential forensics evidence including memory and disk images, and streamline investigation workflows across multi-account and multi-region environments. Through its serverless architecture and integrated security features, this Guidance enables SOC teams to efficiently conduct forensic analysis, continuously monitor for threats, and maintain a robust security posture while reducing manual overhead and accelerating incident response times.

Benefits

Reduce investigation time from hours to minutes with automated forensic workflows that capture and analyze both memory and disk data when security issues are detected. Maintain business continuity while thoroughly investigating potential threats.

Automatically isolate potentially compromised instances while preserving forensic evidence for investigation. Protect your infrastructure by implementing consistent, automated response procedures for security findings.

Maintain complete chain of custody with automated evidence collection and secure storage. Query forensic timelines and investigation results through a centralized interface while ensuring compliance requirements.
