WARNING: This rule is being deprecated on 6 March 2023.

  • Cloud SIEM team performs a regular audit of all detection rules to maintain high signal quality. We will be replacing this rule with an improved third party detection rule after the deprecation date. This rule will allow you to receive coverage with all GuardDuty detections and correlate them with other security signals fired.

Goal

Detect when an EC2 instance is participating in a Denial of Service (DoS) attack.

Strategy
