-# What to create playbooks for
-
-Playbooks should be created for incident scenarios such as: 
-
-  * **Expected incidents** – Playbooks should be created for incidents you anticipate. This includes threats like denial of service (DoS), ransomware, and credential compromise. 
-
-  * **Known security findings or alerts** – Playbooks should be created for your known security findings and alerts, such as GuardDuty findings. You might receive a GuardDuty finding and think, “Now what?” To prevent mishandling of a GuardDuty finding or ignoring the finding, create a playbook for each potential GuardDuty finding. Some remediation details and guidance can be found in the [GuardDuty documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/guardduty/latest/ug/guardduty_remediate.html). It’s worth noting that GuardDuty is not enabled by default and does incur a cost. More details on GuardDuty can be found in Appendix A: Cloud capability definitions - [Visibility and alerting](./visibility-and-alerting.html).
