DRX integration for Amazon Web Services

See which actions Nova DRX supports for Amazon Web Services and which policies and approvals apply.

This page describes implemented Amazon Web Services support in DRX. Inclusion and activation are confirmed for each customer environment before use.

What the Amazon Web Services integration is for

Supports investigations and response across AWS identities, workloads, networks and storage. Nova DRX applies your response policies and approval requirements before sending an action to Amazon Web Services.

The provider connection supplies a supported destination for DRX. It does not decide that an action is appropriate, expand the customer scope, or bypass the approval policy selected for the environment.

Supported customer outcomes

Nova DRX supports 7 actions for Amazon Web Services.

What remains under customer control

  • The exact target and customer scope are confirmed before action.
  • The action must be present in the supported DRX catalog and available in the connected provider environment.
  • Configured approval and separation-of-duties requirements remain in force.
  • A simulation or proposal is not treated as an executed provider outcome.
  • The reported result and review history remain available after the action.

Questions to confirm before evaluation

  • Which listed outcomes are required and which should remain disabled?
  • Which provider plan, region, target types, and customer-owned access are available?
  • Which outcomes require one approver, two-person review, or a manual-only decision?
