# Mitigation action commands
<a name="mitigation-action-commands"></a>

You can use these mitigation action commands to define a set of actions for your AWS account that you can later apply to one or more sets of audit findings. There are three command categories: 
+ Those used to define and manage actions.
+ Those used to start and manage the application of those actions to Audit findings.
+ Those used to start and manage the application of those actions to Detect alarms.
