## What it is
A collection of sample incident response playbooks for AWS environments, aligned to NIST SP 800-61r3 and CSF 2.0. It provides templates and scenario-specific guides for handling identity, compute, and data security incidents in the cloud.

## Use cases
- build incident response capability on aws
- respond to compromised iam credentials
- handle ransomware in aws environment
- create incident response playbooks for cloud
- triage security incident severity
- plan response to ec2 compromise
- prepare for ddos response on aws
- map incident response to nist framework

## When to choose
- you run workloads on AWS and need IR documentation
- you want playbooks aligned to NIST SP 800-61r3
- you need templates to customize for your security team

## When to avoid
- you need automated incident response tooling rather than documentation
- you are not using AWS
- you need official AWS support or documentation
