AWS::SecurityHub::Insight StringFilter

A string filter for filtering AWS Security Hub findings.

Syntax

To declare this entity in your AWS CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:

JSON

{
  "Comparison" : String,
  "Value" : String
}

YAML

  Comparison: String
  Value: String

Properties

Comparison

The condition to apply to a string value when filtering Security Hub findings.

To search for values that have the filter value, use one of the following comparison operators:

• To search for values that include the filter value, use CONTAINS. For example, the filter Title CONTAINS CloudFront matches findings that have a Title that includes the string CloudFront.

• To search for values that exactly match the filter value, use EQUALS. For example, the filter AwsAccountId EQUALS 123456789012 only matches findings that have an account ID of 123456789012.

• To search for values that start with the filter value, use PREFIX. For example, the filter ResourceRegion PREFIX us matches findings that have a ResourceRegion that starts with us. A ResourceRegion that starts with a different value, such as af, ap, or ca, doesn't match.

CONTAINS, EQUALS, and PREFIX filters on the same field are joined by OR. A finding matches if it matches any one of those filters. For example, the filters Title CONTAINS CloudFront OR Title CONTAINS CloudWatch match a finding that includes either CloudFront, CloudWatch, or both strings in the title.

To search for values that don’t have the filter value, use one of the following comparison operators:

• To search for values that exclude the filter value, use NOT_CONTAINS. For example, the filter Title NOT_CONTAINS CloudFront matches findings that have a Title that excludes the string CloudFront.

• To search for values other than the filter value, use NOT_EQUALS. For example, the filter AwsAccountId NOT_EQUALS 123456789012 only matches findings that have an account ID other than 123456789012.

• To search for values that don't start with the filter value, use PREFIX_NOT_EQUALS. For example, the filter ResourceRegion PREFIX_NOT_EQUALS us matches findings with a ResourceRegion that starts with a value other than us.

NOT_CONTAINS, NOT_EQUALS, and PREFIX_NOT_EQUALS filters on the same field are joined by AND. A finding matches only if it matches all of those filters. For example, the filters Title NOT_CONTAINS CloudFront AND Title NOT_CONTAINS CloudWatch match a finding that excludes both CloudFront and CloudWatch in the title.

You can’t have both a CONTAINS filter and a NOT_CONTAINS filter on the same field. Similarly, you can't provide both an EQUALS filter and a NOT_EQUALS or PREFIX_NOT_EQUALS filter on the same field. Combining filters in this way returns an error. CONTAINS filters can only be used with other CONTAINS filters. NOT_CONTAINS filters can only be used with other NOT_CONTAINS filters.

You can combine PREFIX filters with NOT_EQUALS or PREFIX_NOT_EQUALS filters for the same field. Security Hub first processes the PREFIX filters, and then the NOT_EQUALS or PREFIX_NOT_EQUALS filters.

For example, for the following filters, Security Hub first identifies findings that have resource types that start with either AwsIam or AwsEc2. It then excludes findings that have a resource type of AwsIamPolicy and findings that have a resource type of AwsEc2NetworkInterface.

• ResourceType PREFIX AwsIam

• ResourceType PREFIX AwsEc2

• ResourceType NOT_EQUALS AwsIamPolicy

• ResourceType NOT_EQUALS AwsEc2NetworkInterface

CONTAINS and NOT_CONTAINS operators can be used only with automation rules V1. CONTAINS_WORD operator is only supported in GetFindingsV2, GetFindingStatisticsV2, GetResourcesV2, and GetResourceStatisticsV2 APIs. For more information, see Automation rules in the AWS Security Hub User Guide.
