Accelerate incident response with Amazon Security Lake – Part 2

This article discusses how to accelerate incident response using Amazon Security Lake. It is the second part of a two-part series, focusing on the detection and analysis, containment, eradication, and recovery phases of the NIST incident response framework.

Specifically, the article covers:

• Using Athena to query CloudTrail management events, S3 data events, and Amazon Macie findings in Security Lake to detect and analyze an incident involving an unfamiliar IAM user
• Disabling the compromised IAM user, restoring deleted data, and revoking access to resources created by the compromised user to contain and eradicate the incident
• The benefits of using Security Lake as a centralized security data store for accelerating incident response across multiple AWS accounts and services
• Conclusion highlighting how Security Lake empowers security teams to analyze security data from various sources using analytical tools like Athena
