Service Description

Security Hub provides you with a comprehensive view of your security state in Amazon Web Services and helps you assess your Amazon Web Services environment against security industry standards and best practices.

Security Hub collects security data across Amazon Web Services accounts, Amazon Web Servicesservices, and supported third-party products and helps you analyze your security trends and identify the highest priority security issues.

To help you manage the security state of your organization, Security Hub supports multiple security standards. These include the Amazon Web Services Foundational Security Best Practices (FSBP) standard developed by Amazon Web Services, and external compliance frameworks such as the Center for Internet Security (CIS), the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Each standard includes several security controls, each of which represents a security best practice. Security Hub runs checks against security controls and generates control findings to help you assess your compliance against security best practices.

In addition to generating control findings, Security Hub also receives findings from other Amazon Web Servicesservices, such as Amazon GuardDuty and Amazon Inspector, and supported third-party products. This gives you a single pane of glass into a variety of security-related issues. You can also send Security Hub findings to other Amazon Web Servicesservices and supported third-party products.

Security Hub offers automation features that help you triage and remediate security issues. For example, you can use automation rules to automatically update critical findings when a security check fails. You can also leverage the integration with Amazon EventBridge to trigger automatic responses to specific findings.

This guide, the Security Hub API Reference, provides information about the Security Hub API. This includes supported resources, HTTP methods, parameters, and schemas. If you're new to Security Hub, you might find it helpful to also review the Security Hub User Guide . The user guide explains key concepts and provides procedures that demonstrate how to use Security Hub features. It also provides information about topics such as integrating Security Hub with other Amazon Web Servicesservices.

In addition to interacting with Security Hub by making calls to the Security Hub API, you can use a current version of an Amazon Web Services command line tool or SDK. Amazon Web Services provides tools and SDKs that consist of libraries and sample code for various languages and platforms, such as PowerShell, Java, Go, Python, C++, and .NET. These tools and SDKs provide convenient, programmatic access to Security Hub and other Amazon Web Servicesservices . They also handle tasks such as signing requests, managing errors, and retrying requests automatically. For information about installing and using the Amazon Web Services tools and SDKs, see Tools to Build on Amazon Web Services.

With the exception of operations that are related to central configuration, Security Hub API requests are executed only in the Amazon Web Services Region that is currently active or in the specific Amazon Web Services Region that you specify in your request. Any configuration or settings change that results from the operation is applied only to that Region. To make the same change in other Regions, call the same API operation in each Region in which you want to apply the change. When you use central configuration, API requests for enabling Security Hub, standards, and controls are executed in the home Region and all linked Regions. For a list of central configuration operations, see the Central configuration terms and concepts section of the Security Hub User Guide.

The following throttling limits apply to Security Hub API operations.

  • BatchEnableStandards - RateLimit of 1 request per second. BurstLimit of 1 request per second.

  • GetFindings - RateLimit of 3 requests per second. BurstLimit of 6 requests per second.

  • BatchImportFindings - RateLimit of 10 requests per second. BurstLimit of 30 requests per second.

  • BatchUpdateFindings - RateLimit of 10 requests per second. BurstLimit of 30 requests per second.

  • UpdateStandardsControl - RateLimit of 1 request per second. BurstLimit of 5 requests per second.

  • All other operations - RateLimit of 10 requests per second. BurstLimit of 30 requests per second.

Sending a Request Using SecurityHub

var securityhub = new AWS.SecurityHub();
securityhub.createActionTarget(params, function (err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Locking the API Version

In order to ensure that the SecurityHub object uses this specific API, you can construct the object by passing the apiVersion option to the constructor:

var securityhub = new AWS.SecurityHub({apiVersion: '2018-10-26'});

You can also set the API version globally in AWS.config.apiVersions using the securityhub service identifier:

AWS.config.apiVersions = {
  securityhub: '2018-10-26',
  // other service API versions
};

var securityhub = new AWS.SecurityHub();

Constructor Details

new AWS.SecurityHub(options = {}) ⇒ Object

Constructs a service object. This object has one method for each API operation.

Examples:

var securityhub = new AWS.SecurityHub({apiVersion: '2018-10-26'});

Options Hash (options):

  • params (map) —

    An optional map of parameters to bind to every request sent by this service object. For more information on bound parameters, see "Working with Services" in the Getting Started Guide.

  • endpoint (String|AWS.Endpoint) —

    The endpoint URI to send requests to. The default endpoint is built from the configured region. The endpoint should be a string like 'https://{service}.{region}.amazonaws.com' or an Endpoint object.

  • accessKeyId (String) —

    your AWS access key ID.

  • secretAccessKey (String) —

    your AWS secret access key.

  • sessionToken (AWS.Credentials) —

    the optional AWS session token to sign requests with.

  • credentials (AWS.Credentials) —

    the AWS credentials to sign requests with. You can either specify this object, or specify the accessKeyId and secretAccessKey options directly.

  • credentialProvider (AWS.CredentialProviderChain) —

    the provider chain used to resolve credentials if no static credentials property is set.

  • region (String) —

    the region to send service requests to. See AWS.SecurityHub.region for more information.

  • maxRetries (Integer) —

    the maximum amount of retries to attempt with a request. See AWS.SecurityHub.maxRetries for more information.
