Security Monitoring & Auto-Remediation — AWS Architecture Template
CloudTrail feeds a security event pipeline that alerts SecOps, auto-remediates via Lambda, and archives evidence for forensics.
Why this architecture works
- CloudTrail-to-EventBridge detection reacts to risky API calls in near real time, not at audit time
- Auto-remediation Lambda reverts dangerous changes (e.g. opened security groups) in seconds
- Immutable, KMS-encrypted S3 archive preserves evidence to forensic and compliance standards
- Athena over the archive answers 'who touched what, when' across years of logs without a SIEM licence
- Alerting and remediation paths are separate, so a noisy rule can be muted without disabling protection
