In this lab, you will set up comprehensive security monitoring and alerting solutions using multiple AWS services. You will configure AWS CloudWatch, AWS GuardDuty, AWS Security Hub, and AWS SNS to track security events and automate threat identification and notification. This lab simulates a real-world scenario where a company's sensitive data and operational stability depend on timely and effective reactions to potential security threats. You'll gain hands-on experience with configuring alert thresholds, integrating various AWS services for seamless operations, and implementing best practices for incident response.
You are a security engineer at TechGuard, a company dealing with highly sensitive financial and customer information. Due to increasing threats, the company's executive board mandates implementing an advanced security monitoring and alerting system that seamlessly integrates with existing AWS infrastructure. Timely detection and response to security incidents without impacting performance or customer trust are the primary goals.
