AWS GuardDuty

AWS GuardDuty integration

Amazon GuardDuty is the intelligent heart of AWS security, using machine learning and threat intelligence to identify everything from crypto-mining to IAM credential exfiltration.

How ITOC360 connects to AWS GuardDuty

Notification via preferred channel

High-severity findings reach your security team via Voice Call, SMS, or Email instantly. No more unanswered IAM exfiltrations at midnight.

Severity-Based Active Escalation

Automatically escalate High and Critical findings through your security chain until a human expert acknowledges and acts.

Zero GuardDuty config changes

Keep your existing finding rules, filters, and Security Hub settings untouched. ITOC360 connects via native AWS EventBridge targets.

Compliance & Post-Incident Audit

ITOC360 generates a complete timeline: finding detection, responder notification, and acknowledgment—critical for SOC2 and ISO compliance.

While GuardDuty detects threats in real-time with zero agents, its notification path often ends in passive SNS emails or Security Hub dashboards. A high-severity security finding at 2 AM is only a defense if it triggers an immediate response from a security expert.

ITOC360 connects to GuardDuty via AWS EventBridge or SNS. When a critical threat is detected, ITOC360 identifies your on-call security responder and reaches them via Voice Call, SMS, or Email. No acknowledgment? The escalation chain starts automatically. Your finding rules, severity filters, and existing Security Hub integrations stay exactly as they are.

A data breach costs $4.88M on average. GuardDuty detects the threat; ITOC360 ensures a security responder matches that urgency.

Why Security Findings Go Unanswered Outside Business Hours

Amazon GuardDuty is a deliberately powerful security layer, monitoring AWS accounts, workloads, and data with no agents. But a security finding that only lands in a team mailbox or a Security Hub dashboard at 1 AM is still passive. If the security engineer is asleep, the attacker has hours to move laterally across your environment.

ITOC360 turns GuardDuty's detection into active cloud defense. We wake up the on-call responder the second a high-severity finding is generated, ensuring that your AWS security investment leads to immediate containment and resolution.

Cloud-Native Detection Meeting Active Escalation

GuardDuty identifies the cloud security breach, but passive channels cannot guarantee a human response. ITOC360 bridges that gap, notifying the right expert via their preferred channel and escalating until someone responds.

Common questions

How does ITOC360 connect to GuardDuty?

Through AWS EventBridge or SNS. Add ITOC360's Webhook URL as a target in your EventBridge rules to trigger escalations from specific findings.

Supports multiple AWS accounts?

Yes. You can route findings from multiple AWS accounts to a single ITOC360 service or separate them by account/team labels.

Can I only escalate "High" severity?

Yes. Simply configure your EventBridge rule to match findings where "severity" is >= 7.0 (High) to trigger the ITOC360 escalation.

Will it affect Security Hub?

No. ITOC360 runs as an additional target. Your Security Hub, Detective, and Other AWS security service integrations continue working untouched.

Does it help with compliance auditing?

Yes. ITOC360 provides a complete incident timeline: from the moment GuardDuty fired to the moment a human responded—vital documentation for auditors.
