AWS security findings - Amazon Detective

AWS security findings

AWS security findings is an optional data source package that can be added to your Detective behavior graph.

You can view the available optional source packages, and their status in your account, from the Settings page in the console or through the Detective API.

A 30 day free trial is provided for this data source. To learn more see Free trial for optional data sources.

Enabling AWS security findings allows Detective to use the findings from Security Hub aggregated by Security Hub from upstream services in a standard findings format called the AWS Security Format (ASFF), which eliminates the need for time-consuming data conversion efforts. Then it correlates ingested findings across products to prioritize the most important ones.

Adding or removing AWS security findings as an optional data source:
Note

The AWS security findings data source is enabled by default for new behavior graphs created after May 16, 2023. For behavior graphs created before May 16, 2023 it must be enabled manually.

  1. Open the Detective console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/detective/.

  2. From the navigation panel under Settings, choose General.

  3. Under Source packages, select AWS security findings to enable this data source. If it is already enabled, select it again to stop ingesting AWS Security Finding Format (ASFF) findings into your behavior graph.
