ChatSecOps, also known as Chat Security Operations, uses the ChatOps technology to enable customers to put SecOps in practice.ĬhatSecOps facilitates this collaboration by allowing security-related notifications to be delivered to common chat rooms used by SecOps teams, providing visibility on the issues and actions that are taken to investigate and remediate the reported issues. SecOps is a philosophy of encouraging collaboration between the ITOps and Security teams of an organization.

You can use your existing Slack channels and Amazon Chime chatrooms to receive alerts and notifications about operational issues or tasks, and you can also respond to those incidents or tasks in real time from the same chat room. Overview of ChatOps and ChatSecOps conceptsĬhatOps, also known as Chat Operations, refers to using chatbots, tools, and clients to communicate, notify, assign, and launch operational tasks and issues. Another example is that you might want to allow the channel members to query AWS CloudTrail logs in order to get more details on findings, but you use channel guardrails to prevent them from disabling AWS CloudTrail or changing the destination Amazon Simple Storage Services (Amazon S3) bucket. For example, you may want to allow running commands that would allow getting more details on findings reported from Security Hub, and remediating and archiving those findings, but use channel guardrails to prevent anyone from disabling Security Hub. You can apply standard AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) permissions to the Slack channel or Amazon Chime chatroom, and you can also associate some channel guardrails to provide granular control on what commands can be run from the channel. You’ll receive the findings from Security Hub and then run AWS CLI commands from your Slack channel to remediate the reported security findings.ĪWS Chatbot works by acting as a subscriber to an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic that can receive notifications from either Amazon CloudWatch or Amazon EventBridge, and have them delivered to the configured Slack channels or Amazon Chime chat rooms. In this blog post, you’ll learn how to extend the solution so you can use AWS Chatbot to remediate the findings in your Slack channel. To learn about how to configure AWS Chatbot to send findings from Security Hub to Slack, see the blog post Enabling AWS Security Hub integration with AWS Chatbot. You can use AWS Chatbot and its integration with Slack and Amazon Chime to receive and remediate security findings from AWS Security Hub.
