Security Monitoring & Auto-RemediationAWS 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
