Updated over 6 months ago

This workflow template addresses the critical need for organizations to maintain cybersecurity by automating the response to potential intrusion events. Specifically, it focuses on handling suspicious AWS Console logins. Upon login, the source IP is checked against VirusTotal for any associated risks. If the login is by the root user, a ServiceNow incident is logged immediately. Otherwise, the user is contacted via Slack to confirm the activity. Unacknowledged logins trigger the deactivation of the user's login profile and access keys, followed by logging a detailed ServiceNow incident for further investigation. This automated process is essential for rapid incident response and minimizing potential security breaches.
