AWS GuardDuty Combine With Security Hub And Slack

AWS GuardDuty Combine With Security Hub And Slack

- This post bases on the blog Automatically block suspicious traffic with AWS Network Firewall and Amazon GuardDuty but also send all MEDIUM and HIGH findings to slack

- Build completely this infrastructure using AWS CDK 2.0
