Amazon Web Services (AWS) has launched AWS Security Incident Response, a new service designed to streamline and accelerate recovery from cyberattacks such as breaches, ransomware, and account takeovers. The tool integrates with Amazon GuardDuty and supported third-party cybersecurity solutions to automatically triage findings, monitor incidents, and remediate threats using a combination of automated processes and customer-specific data. For unresolved issues, it generates security cases and notifies the appropriate stakeholders, offering organizations a centralized “single source of truth” for incident response. AWS also provides support from its dedicated customer incident response team, making it particularly attractive for businesses already utilizing AWS’ security ecosystem.
The launch comes as organizations face increasing challenges in implementing scalable and effective incident response strategies. With cyberattacks projected to cost $23 trillion globally by 2027, AWS aims to simplify this process by offering a comprehensive, proactive solution. While competing with startups like FireHydrant and Incident.io, AWS differentiates itself through tight integration with its existing security services and its ability to scale for evolving business needs. Available now via the AWS management console and APIs, AWS Security Incident Response has already garnered interest from customers like the PGA Tour, positioning AWS to capitalize on the growing incident response market, projected to reach $89 billion by 2030.
