Automated Security Response on AWS

Overview

This AWS Solution is an add-on that works with AWS Security Hub and provides predefined response and remediation actions based on industry compliance standards and best practices for security threats. It helps AWS Security Hub customers to resolve common security findings and to improve their security posture in AWS.

The solution creates a Service Catalog Portfolio of predefined security response and remediation actions, or playbooks. Customers choose the individual playbooks they want to deploy in their Security Hub primary account from the AWS Service Catalog Portfolio. Each playbook contains the necessary custom actions, IAM roles, and Amazon CloudWatch events in addition to any Systems Manager Automation documents, AWS Lambda functions, or AWS Step Functions needed to start the remediation workflow within a single AWS account, or across multiple accounts.
