What is AWS Security Hub?
AWS Security Hub offers a unified, organized, and prioritized view of the compliance status and security posture of your AWS accounts in a standardized format. It automates the security best practice checks of single and multiple AWS accounts. It centralizes the security alerts into one format and place, helping you comprehend the security framework of your AWS environment. It offers a pre-built dashboard that helps manage and prioritize any alerts or issues in your AWS environment found from security checks.
Security Hub assesses security controls, performs compliance checks, and generates control findings to gauge your organization’s adherence to security best practices. By automating security best practice checks, Security Hub streamlines the understanding and enhancing of the security posture of your AWS accounts. It offers multiple security standards to handle your organization’s security position, including Foundational Security Best Practices developed by AWS and external compliance frameworks like Center for Internet Security (CIS) and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). These standards have various security controls, each defining a security best practice.
Besides generating control findings, Security Hub acquires findings from AWS services like Amazon Inspector and Amazon GuardDuty and also supports third-party products, offering a centralized view of several security-related issues. Also, the automation capabilities of the Security Hub simplified the triage and remediation of security issues. For example, by setting automation rules, critical discoveries get updated automatically in case of a security check failure.
