Incident Response & Threat Detection with GuardDuty + Security Hub EventBridge

When a production environment is compromised, every second counts. Is your response pipeline automated, or are you waiting for an email notification? 🚨🛡️
In modern cloud infrastructure, security cannot be reactive. Relying on manual log audits or waiting for security teams to parse raw alerts during a breach leaves your systems vulnerable to data exfiltration, lateral movement, and infrastructure manipulation. Real security at scale requires automated threat detection and rapid, event-driven remediation.
On July 11th, 2026, we are breaking down the blueprint for production-grade security automation. Join us as we explore how to architect an active defense matrix using Amazon GuardDuty, AWS Security Hub, and Amazon EventBridge to detect threats in real-time and trigger automated self-healing response pipelines before damage spreads.
Whether you are a DevSecOps engineer hardening your deployment pipelines, an SRE focused on system resilience, or an IT professional looking to shift-left your security operations, this session provides a practical, production-ready incident response blueprint

✅ This session will cover:
🎯 Intelligent Threat Detection with Amazon GuardDuty — Explore how GuardDuty leverages continuous machine learning and anomaly detection across VPC Flow Logs, CloudTrail management events, and DNS queries to surface hidden threats like crypto-mining, credential exfiltration, and malicious C2 communication.
🏛️ Centralized Security Posture via AWS Security Hub — Learn how to aggregate, prioritize, and manage disparate findings across multiple AWS accounts into a single, comprehensive pane of glass. We will break down how to map your active workloads against compliance frameworks like CIS benchmarks and PCI-DSS automatically.
⚡ Automated Incident Response using Amazon EventBridge — Stop treating alerts as text messages. Discover how to capture specific JSON finding payloads from Security Hub, route them through EventBridge rule patterns, and trigger instant programmatic remediations—such as isolating an EC2 instance, revoking compromised IAM session tokens, or updating WACL rules natively.
🧠 Least Privilege Security Operational Roles — Review how to author granular execution policies for your remediation workers (like AWS Lambda functions or Systems Manager automation documents) to ensure that your active defense systems operate under strict, narrow boundaries without introducing new vulnerability vectors.
⚙️ Shifting Security Compliance Left — See how to automate the provisioning of your security detection mechanisms before an infrastructure change goes live—embedding GuardDuty configurations, custom EventBridge rules, and Security Hub compliance gates directly into your active Terraform CI/CD pull-request pipelines. 🛡️💻
