Multi-Cloud Automated Incident Response Pipeline

The Real-World Problem In modern cloud environments, security alerts generated by services such as AWS GuardDuty, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, or GCP Security Command Center often suffer from two key challenges:

SOC Analyst Alert Fatigue: Security Operations Center (SOC) analysts process hundreds of high-severity alerts daily. Manual triage leads to delay and burnout. Attacker Dwell Time: Traditional manual incident handling requires human triage, taking minutes to hours from detection to containment. Attackers can exfiltrate credentials or pivot laterally across virtual networks in seconds. The Solution This pipeline reduces attacker dwell time from hours to sub-second automated responses. Upon receiving a high-severity security alert via webhook, the pipeline instantly isolates compromised compute workloads and revokes compromised IAM identities across AWS, GCP, and Azure.
