AWS Incident Response Runbook Samples

The run-books included below cover several common scenarios faced by AWS customers. They outline steps based on the NIST Computer Security Incident Handling Guide (Special Publication 800-61 Revision 2) that can be used to: - Gather evidence - Contain and then eradicate the incident - Recover from the incident - Conduct post-incident activities, including post-mortem and feedback processes Interested readers may also find the AWS Security Incident Response Guide (first published in June 2019) a useful guide as an overview of how the below steps were created. Each runbook corresponds to a unique incident and there are 5 parts to handling each incident type, following the NIST guidelines referenced above. Each part corresponds to an action in that NIST document. It is not sufficient to customize t
