Automated Security Response on AWS is an AWS Solution that enhances AWS Security Hub by automatically addressing common security issues across your organization's AWS environment. When Security Hub identifies a potential security concern, this solution initiates pre-defined responses to resolve the issue efficiently. It also operates across multiple AWS accounts for comprehensive security coverage. This solution logs all actions taken, sends notifications to your relevant parties, and can integrate with your existing ticketing services. By automating the remediation of your Security Hub findings, you can maintain a strong security posture with reduced manual effort, aligning with industry best practices and compliance standards while streamlining your overall security management process.
