What are AWS Detection & Response Services?

AWS detection and response services are AWS solutions that help customers detect and respond to potential threats on their AWS workloads. These services include:

1. AWS Incident Detection and Response: This service provides AWS Enterprise Support customers with proactive monitoring and incident management for their selected workloads. AWS experts work with the customers to define critical metrics and alarms, detect critical incidents, and engage with the right AWS experts to accelerate the recovery of the workloads.

2. AWS Solutions for Threat Detection and Response Automation: These ready-to-deploy solutions assemble AWS services, code, and configurations. These help customers detect unexpected behaviour, API calls, or unwanted configuration changes by centralising and automating security detection methods, including logs analysis and rapidly taking time-sensitive security actions in response to these events.

3. AWS Partner Solutions for Threat Detection and Response: These are software, SaaS, or managed services from AWS Partners that help customers enhance their security posture and respond to threats on AWS. Some examples are Deepwatch3 and Vectra CDR.
