AWS Security Hub
AWS Security Hub is a cloud security posture management service that aggregates, organizes, and prioritizes security findings from multiple AWS services and third-party tools. It provides a comprehensive view of security alerts and compliance status across an AWS environment, enabling centralized monitoring and automated compliance checks. The service helps identify security issues by correlating findings and generating actionable insights.
Developers should use AWS Security Hub when managing complex AWS deployments that require centralized security monitoring and compliance management, such as in multi-account environments or regulated industries like finance or healthcare. It is particularly valuable for automating security assessments, reducing manual effort in tracking vulnerabilities, and ensuring adherence to standards like CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark or PCI DSS.
