In this talk, we'll explore building event-driven response architectures on AWS. Using services like Detective, GuardDuty, and EventBridge, we'll detect security events and trigger automated responses. We'll deploy infrastructure across multiple accounts with CDK to enable developer velocity while maintaining security. Focusing on the event response lifecycle, we'll integrate an EC2 instance that gets snapshotted when threats are detected. Architectural best practices, infrastructure as code tips, and CDK demos will give you the knowledge to start building event-driven response architectures.
