Youll hear practical examples showing how engineers can automate security workflows with AWS Lambda and EventBridge, set up monitoring and auditing using CloudTrail and server access logging, and securely recover artifacts for investigation without jeopardizing integrity. We also discuss the major challenges engineers face, from cost control and retention policy conflicts to the complexities of access and timely artifact retrieval. By mastering these AWS tools and best practices, engineers are empowered to secure digital evidence for incident response, audits, and legal proceedingsensuring forensic artifacts are preserved, protected, and ready for when theyre needed most in any cloud security investigation.
