HNSEC06-BP02 Automate incident response
Implement automated response capabilities to enhance incident containment speed and reliability while reducing manual intervention requirements. This approach ensures consistent execution of response procedures while minimizing human error during critical security events.
Desired outcome: Faster, more reliable containment and recovery from incidents with reduced operational burden.
Level of risk exposed if this best practice is not established: High
Benefits of establishing this best practice:
-
Shortens response times and limits damage
-
Reduces alert fatigue and manual workload
-
Ensures consistent, repeatable incident handling
Implementation guidance
-
Automate incident response by configuring security findings with response actions. For example, you can achieve this by integrating AWS Security Hub CSPM findings with AWS Lambda for automated actions.
-
Test and tune automation playbooks in non-production environments.
