Automate AWS GuardDuty alert investigations

Tighten up your cloud security posture with fast and thorough investigations for every GuardDuty alert, as soon as it hits the queue.

Why Dropzone AI

Investigate every AWS GuardDuty alert quickly and accurately

AWS GuardDuty excels at detecting threats in your cloud environment, but analysts must still investigate these alerts to find the real threats hidden in the noise. Delayed investigations expose your business to unnecessary risk. With this AWS GuardDuty integration, Dropzone AI eliminates these delays by automating the entire investigation process—leveraging GuardDuty and other security tools, integrating context from your business systems, and even conducting automated user interviews.

89%
of SOC alert backlogs are growing annually
Most security operations centers (SOCs) are unable to keep up with the growing volume of alerts. Uninvestigated alerts pose a risk to the organization.

How Dropzone AI Boosts AWS GuardDuty Performance in the SOC

Cut Mean-Time-to-Conclusion (MTTC) with AI-driven investigations. Dropzone AI SOC analysts investigate GuardDuty alerts as soon as they are fired, consistently reaching accurate conclusions in under 10 minutes. Speed in cloud threat investigation is critical—that’s the value of Dropzone AI combined with AWS GuardDuty.

HOW IT WORKS

Amazon GuardDuty Investigation Scenario

Step 1

AWS GuardDuty fires an alert titled “An IAM entity invoked an S3 API in a suspicious way” with an Exfiltration tag.

Step 2

The alert is sent to Dropzone AI for triage and investigation.

Step 3

Dropzone AI formulates a hypothesis for the alert, as a human analyst would, and then formulates the investigation steps required to test the hypothesis.

Step 4

Dropzone AI pulls data from AWS CloudTrail to see which files were accessed.

Step 5

Dropzone AI then pulls more AWS CloudTrail data to verify this type of activity is anomalous.

Step 6

While these findings make it look like this is malicious activity, Dropzone AI checks context memory for this environment. It finds that user 'citic-support' is scheduled to perform a backup of several S3 buckets, named in the format of test-bucket-*.

Step 7

Dropzone AI concludes the alert represents benign activity and can be closed.
