Join us LIVE on Tuesday, April 21st for AWS re:Post Live | Enhancing Your Incident Response Readiness with SCRaM

Join your host Stephen Heverin (Sr. Technical Account Manager) and guests Russell Sprague (Principal Technical Account Manager) and Bharadwaz Kari (Sr. Technical Account Manager) for a deep dive into Enhancing Your Incident Response Readiness with SCRaM! Ever wonder what happens when a real incident hits and your team freezes because the runbook is outdated, the escalation path is unclear, and nobody's sure who owns what? In this episode, we're diving into SCRaM — Simulated Conditions Response and Management — an AWS Enterprise Support engagement that puts your incident response plan to the test through customized tabletop exercises, without disrupting your production environment.

We'll walk through how SCRaM works across its four-session model, the kinds of scenarios it simulates (think AZ impairments, regional disruptions, DDoS attacks, and ransomware), and the best practices you can start applying today — from multi-region architecture and automated backups to least-privilege IAM policies and automated compliance checking with Security Hub, GuardDuty, and AWS Config. Whether you're focused on resilience or security, this episode will give you a practical framework for finding the gaps in your incident response before a real incident finds them for you.

If you have questions about incident response planning, disaster recovery, or security best practices on AWS, we want to hear from you! Please add your questions and comments below in this article and we will address them live on our show.
