AWS Incident Response Investigation of API activity using Athena and notification of actions using EventBridge Description

This project provides a framework for investigating AWS API activity during security incidents using CloudTrail event analysis through Amazon Athena queries and automated notifications via EventBridge. The tool focuses on identifying and analyzing CloudTrail events that are critical for incident response activities, including the detection of security misconfigurations and potential indicators of compromise. It includes documented queries and filters specifically designed to extract relevant security events from CloudTrail logs. Key capabilities include building incident timelines, determining the scope of security events, and identifying suspicious API activities that may indicate unauthorized access or malicious behavior. The framework supports both manual investigation processes and automated response workflows. The project emphasizes the development of standardized incident response playbooks by formalizing the investigation process. This approach helps security teams maintain consistent methodologies when responding to AWS-based security incidents. The tool addresses both immediate security threats and configuration vulnerabilities that could potentially be exploited, making it useful for proactive security monitoring as well as reactive incident response scenarios.
