Policy: AWS > Well-Architected Tool > AWS Well-Architected Framework > Security > SEC 04. How do you detect and investigate security events? > Automate response to events

Using automation to investigate and remediate events reduces human effort and error, and enables you to scale investigation capabilities. Regular reviews will help you tune automation tools, and continuously iterate. For example, automate responses to Amazon GuardDuty events by automating the first investigation step, then iterate to gradually remove human effort.

See Automate response to events for more information.
