What is Security Hub?

I don't know much about it except that it's an AWS service.

What is Security Hub?

It is a service that checks and centrally manages AWS services.
There are various AWS services, but it is difficult to check each service one by one.
Therefore, the Security Hub aggregates security alerts for AWS services and allows you to view them on a single management screen.
Security Hub is a service that aggregates security alerts for AWS services and allows you to view them on a single management screen.

Currently, the target services are as follows

  • Amazon GardDuty
  • Amazon Inspector
  • AWS System Manager
  • AWS Health
  • AWS config
  • AWS Firewall Manager
  • AWS IAM Access Analyzer
  • Amazon Macie

Benefits of the Security Hub

  • Data Aggregation

The security checks of the services listed above can be viewed in a single Security Hub.
This saves you the time and effort of visiting each service.

  • Automated security checks

The Security Hub can also perform compliance checks.
You can automatically check for compliance with certain standards, such as PCI DSS.

Security Hub Precautions

There are a few things to keep in mind when using the Security Hub.

  • AWS Config must be enabled for security checks.

AWS Config must be enabled as it will be used as data.

  • It must be enabled on a region-by-region basis.

Security Hub only processes data for the region of interest.
If you want to see several regions, you need to enable it for each region.

I was looking at it for a while and thought it was similar to TRUSTED ADVISER.
I wonder if this one is more specialized in compliance and security?
Well, I guess there are some parts that are covered.
