# Submit containment preferences


To configure containment preferences for your account or organization, create an [AWS Support case](https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/get-aws-technical-support).

In your support case, specify the following information:
+ Your AWS Organizations ID or specific account IDs where containment actions should be authorized.
+ Your preferred containment option.

When configured, AWS Security Incident Response executes executes the authorized containment actions during active security incidents to help protect your environment.

**Note**  
AWS Security Incident Response executes containment actions only when configured with the appropriate preferences and after the required AWS CloudFormation StackSet is deployed to grant necessary permissions.
