This lab allows participants to design and implement a robust monitoring and alerting solution using AWS services to detect and respond to potential security breaches in real-time. Participants will integrate AWS CloudTrail, AWS Security Hub and Amazon GuardDuty to create a centralized security monitoring system. They will configure alerting mechanisms and automated responses to different threat levels, ensuring their system can handle incidents effectively. By the end of this lab, you will be proficient in setting up comprehensive monitoring solutions that gather and correlate data from multiple services to provide a cohesive security overview. You'll explore optimization techniques to reduce false positives and set up automated remediation processes that work across various services. Additionally, troubleshooting techniques will be emphasized to diagnose issues with the monitoring system, ensuring all logs are properly ingested and analyzed. This will involve examining configurations both for security data sources and the monitoring services themselves to ensure compliance and performance are maintained. Advanced security configuration settings will be applied to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system. This is critical in a real-world scenario where timely detection of and response to security threats can save significant time and resources in crisis management.
