Incident response strategy and runbooks

Developing a DDoS attack incident response strategy and building a security incident response process around it is crucial for all organizations. A recommended approach is to model your response playbook based on NIST's suggested steps such as gathering evidence, mitigating, recovering, and conducting post-incident analysis. For example, a response playbook for web application DoS or DDoS attacks is provided as an example. Additional resources are available in the AWS Security Incident Response Guide.
