Overview

AWS Security Hub (Preview) prioritizes your critical security issues and helps you respond at scale. It detects critical issues by correlating and enriching signals, for example, from threat detection and vulnerability management. This allows you to surface and prioritize active risks in your cloud environment. Security Hub transforms security signals into actionable insights and offers intuitive visualizations and natural language summaries so you can make more informed security decisions quickly. For example, it can identify when a publicly exposed resource with a highly exploitable vulnerability also has access to storage with sensitive data.

Security Hub also provides automated response workflows to streamline remediation at scale so you can reduce security risks, improve your team’s productivity, and minimize potential operational disruptions. Security Hub provides more comprehensive visibility into your security posture to protect your cloud environment.

Unified cloud security capabilities

Open all

Security Hub correlates and enriches security findings to prioritize critical security issues across your accounts and AWS Regions. The integrated dashboard provides clear visualizations through customizable widgets showing exposure summaries, threat trends, and security coverage. Through automated analysis and risk-based prioritization, you can more quickly understand which issues require immediate attention, helping you make informed decisions about risk remediation in your cloud environment.

Security Hub enriches security findings with crucial context by analyzing resource associations, potential impact, and relationships between findings to help you understand the scope of security issues. This automated enrichment provides deeper insights into security risks so you can make more informed decisions about which issues to address first. By correlating seemingly unrelated findings,  Security Hub surfaces complex security scenarios that might otherwise go unnoticed, helping you enhance your overall security posture.

Security Hub correlates security findings to prioritize the critical issues in your cloud environment. By analyzing signals from services such as Amazon Inspector and Amazon Macie, Security Hub connects related vulnerabilities and misconfigurations to help you understand potential exposures. Through this correlation, you can rapidly triage security issues and understand how different findings combine to create potential attack paths. You can get clear insights into potentially exploitable resources and make confident decisions about which issues to address first, helping you identify complex security scenarios that may be missed when viewing findings in isolation.

Visualize potential attack paths by understanding how an adversary could chain together vulnerabilities and misconfigurations to compromise critical resources. By mapping these connections, Security Hub helps you understand possible routes an adversary could take through your environment and identify which critical resources could be impacted. You can see the blast radius of a potential compromise, helping you prioritize remediation efforts, protect critical resources more effectively, and disrupt potential attack chains before they can be exploited.

Security Hub correlates and enriches security findings to prioritize critical security issues across your accounts and AWS Regions. The integrated dashboard provides clear visualizations through customizable widgets showing exposure summaries, threat trends, and security coverage. Through automated analysis and risk-based prioritization, you can more quickly understand which issues require immediate attention, helping you make informed decisions about risk remediation in your cloud environment.

Access a consolidated view of your AWS resources that brings together security posture, configuration details, and application context in one solution. Security Hub highlights internet-reachable assets and their associated security findings, allowing you to identify critical resources in your environment without switching between different tools or consoles. You can streamline your security analysis by viewing findings by resource type and filtering based on key security criteria, helping you make informed decisions about where to focus your security efforts.

Reduce response times with automated workflows that seamlessly integrate with your existing ticketing systems, including Jira Cloud and ServiceNow, helping you streamline remediation at scale. By integrating with your tools and processes, Security Hub lets you focus on addressing security issues rather than managing administrative tasks, improving your overall security posture and operational efficiency.

Security Hub uses the Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework (OCSF) to enable advanced security analytics, helping you identify critical issues before they impact your operations. By leveraging OCSF, Security Hub seamlessly integrates with your security tools and workflows, enabling comprehensive analysis of your security data. This standardized approach enhances your ability to identify patterns, trends, and anomalies across your cloud environment, leading to more effective security management.

Managing security alerts

Open all

As part of your unified security solution, designate an aggregator Region to centralize security findings across your accounts and Regions, providing comprehensive visibility into and simplified management of your security operations. Findings are continuously synced between the Regions, so that updates made to a finding in one Region are replicated to other Regions. Your Amazon EventBridge feed in your administrator account and aggregator Region also now include all your findings across all member accounts and linked Regions, which allows you to simplify integrations with ticketing, chat, incident management, logging, and auto-remediation tools by consolidating those integrations into your aggregator Region.

Security Hub uses OCSF, a standardized format that streamlines the ingestion and processing of security data from various AWS services and partner integrations. This unified data format enables seamless integration with your existing security tools and workflows. OCSF provides consistent formatting for security findings, including details such as resource identifiers, severity levels, and timestamps, making it easier to search, filter, and correlate security data across your environment.

Connect multiple AWS accounts and consolidate findings across those accounts with a few clicks in the Security Hub console. By designating an administrator account, you can enable your security team to see consolidated findings for all accounts, while individual account owners see only findings associated with their account. Integration with AWS Organizations allows you to automatically enable any account in your organization with Security Hub and the AWS Foundational Security Best Practices standard.

The advanced analytics capabilities in Security Hub lets you filter, group, and create saved searches across your security findings. Leveraging the standardized OCSF format, you can create custom views and insights that help surface critical risks across your environment. For example, you can filter findings to focus on high-severity issues and group them by resource to identify the vulnerable assets. Security Hub provides both pre-packaged managed insights and the ability to create custom insights, helping you identify patterns and trends in your security data. Each insight includes visualizations to show trends over time so you can track the evolution of your security posture and focus on what matters most.

Automation and response

Open all

Security Hub leverages the standardized OCSF format to enable seamless integration with your existing security tools, including ticketing, chat, incident management, threat investigation, GRC (Governance Risk and Compliance), SOAR (Security, Orchestration, Automation, and Response), and SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) tools. These integrations, combined with automated workflows, help streamline your security operations and enable response at scale.
