AWS launches tools to tackle evolving cloud security threats

For instance, a financial services organization dealing with a suspected ransomware attack can use the service’s centralized console to coordinate responses across internal teams and third-party security vendors. The console supports secure messaging, video conferencing, and automated documentation of actions, helping enterprises streamline communication and decision-making.

The company claims to offer 24/7 access to the AWS Customer Incident Response Team (CIRT), enabling enterprises to escalate complex incidents when needed.

Enterprise relevance and use cases

Enterprises in sectors such as healthcare, financial services, and e-commerce can benefit from these capabilities. In healthcare, for instance, GuardDuty’s AI/ML-powered detections can help identify attempts to access sensitive patient data, while the incident response service ensures swift coordination to mitigate the impact.
