Incident Response Plan Template

This incident response plan template is like a blueprint for how to handle security trouble in your cloud setup. It helps you map out exactly what happens when a security event occurs and how your team should react. Think of it as a step-by-step guide, covering everything from managing who can access your systems (like those ports 80 and 443 everyone talks about) to keeping a record of all network activity. It also shows you how to use tools like AWS Systems Manager to automate responses and where to store important security logs (think CloudWatch, S3, and SNS). If your team is looking to up their game in incident response and create clear, visual diagrams of their security workflows, this template is a great place to start.

Incident Response Process Components: 

• External Access to Ports 80/443: Traffic enters the AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) via ports 80 or 443. Access is managed through security groups and NAT gateways. 
• Logging Network Traffic: Network traffic is logged using AWS VPC Flow Logs.Logs are stored securely for analysis and compliance. 
• Configuration Rules: Design configuration rules using AWS Systems Manager.Automatically enforce security policies and trigger actions based on pre-defined criteria. 
• Remediation Rules: Manage remediation rules using AWS Systems Manager Documents (SSM Documents).Automate incident resolution processes. 
• Event Storage and Notifications: Send and store events in Amazon SNS for notifications.Monitor events using CloudWatch. Archive logs and events securely in Amazon S3.

Summary:
