Step 3: (Optional) authorize the DDoS Response Team (DRT)
One of the benefits of AWS Shield Advanced is support from the DDoS Response Team
(DRT). When you
experience a potential DDoS attack, you can contact the AWS Support Center
You authorize and contact the DRT at the account level. That is, the account owner, not the Firewall Manager administrator, must perform the following steps to authorize the DRT to mitigate potential attacks. The Firewall Manager administrator can authorize the DRT only for accounts that they own. Likewise, only the account owner can contact the DRT for support.
To use the services of the DRT, you must be subscribed to the Business Support
plan
To authorize the DRT to mitigate potential attacks on your behalf, follow the instructions in Configuring AWS Shield Advanced setup. You can change DRT access and permissions at any time by using the same steps.
