Communication best practices - AWS Security Incident Response User Guide

Communication best practices

Effective communication accelerates incident resolution. Follow these practices when working with AWS Security Incident Response engineers:

  • Respond promptly to information requests from your Security Incident Response engineer

  • Provide complete information even if you're uncertain about its relevance

  • Ask questions if you don't understand a recommendation or need clarification

  • Update the case with any new developments or changes to the incident

  • Designate a primary contact from your team to coordinate with Security Incident Response engineers

Important

If AWS Security Incident Response engineers don't receive a response to critical information requests within 5 business days, we work toward case closure. You can reopen a case if new information becomes available.
