Detection and Response on AWS

Continuously detect and respond to security risks to help protect your workloads, at scale
AWS detection and response services work together to help you enhance your security posture and streamline security operations across your entire AWS environment by continuously identifying and prioritizing security risks, while integrating security practices earlier in the development lifecycle.

Protect your workloads against security risks

Continuously identify software vulnerabilities, misconfigured cloud resources, potential threats, and exposed resources, credentials, and sensitive data to external networks, to help your organization operate more securely on AWS.

Centralize monitoring to enhance visibility into potential risks

Gain improved security visibility of your entire environment by aggregating security data from AWS services and partner products across your accounts and Regions, helping you to centralize your security operations and streamline your cloud security posture monitoring.

Investigate, protect, and respond quickly to security incidents across your environment

Swiftly prioritize alerts, organize triage, and conduct root cause analysis to expediate response and remediation, helping to ensure robust protection for your critical workloads.

Unlock security innovation across hybrid environments

Normalize and combine security data from cloud and on-premises sources, gain a holistic view of your security, and leverage your preferred analytics tools to investigate and respond to events, all while retaining control and ownership of your data.

"Expedia needs to stay up to date with global and local compliance requirements and the ability to process, analyze, and control the vast amounts of data we generate. The AWS solution we built around Amazon Macie has helped us automate data scanning, tagging, sampling, and identification and implement rule configuration, generation of metrics, and scaling security controls. With Macie at the solution's core, we can reduce the footprint on our sensitive data. By reducing PII data, we can open up data access to our analysts while reducing exposure and, at the same time, resulting in an empowering and enriching experience for our customers."
