Improving cloud security visibility with ChatOps | Datadog

What this post added

This post details the initial implementation of a security monitoring and alerting pipeline for AWS cloud operations. It describes the use of Cloudwatch Event Rules, SNS, SQS, and Lambda for cross-account data collection and processing. The core logic for parsing API calls and determining actions (log, notify, alert) is handled by the Komand security orchestration platform, augmented with custom plugins. The user notification flow leverages Slack for interactive messages and Duo for multi-factor authentication. All workflow details are logged to Elasticsearch.
