Options

--security-control-ids (list)

A list of security controls (identified with SecurityControlId , SecurityControlArn , or a mix of both parameters). The security control ID or Amazon Resource Name (ARN) is the same across standards.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on
  • off
  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

Examples

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal's quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To get security control details

The following batch-get-security-controls example gets details for the security controls ACM.1 and IAM.1 in the current AWS account and AWS Region.

aws securityhub batch-get-security-controls \
    --security-control-ids '["ACM.1", "IAM.1"]'

Output:

Output

SecurityControls -> (list)

An array that returns the identifier, Amazon Resource Name (ARN), and other details about a security control. The same information is returned whether the request includes SecurityControlId or SecurityControlArn .

(structure)

A security control in Security Hub describes a security best practice related to a specific resource.

SecurityControlId -> (string)

The unique identifier of a security control across standards. Values for this field typically consist of an Amazon Web Service name and a number, such as APIGateway.3.

SecurityControlArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for a security control across standards, such as arn:aws:securityhub:eu-central-1:123456789012:security-control/S3.1 . This parameter doesn't mention a specific standard.

Title -> (string)

The title of a security control.

Description -> (string)

The description of a security control across standards. This typically summarizes how Security Hub evaluates the control and the conditions under which it produces a failed finding. This parameter doesn't reference a specific standard.

RemediationUrl -> (string)

A link to Security Hub documentation that explains how to remediate a failed finding for a security control.

SeverityRating -> (string)

The severity of a security control. For more information about how Security Hub determines control severity, see Assigning severity to control findings in the Security Hub User Guide .

SecurityControlStatus -> (string)

The enablement status of a security control in a specific standard.

UpdateStatus -> (string)

Identifies whether customizable properties of a security control are reflected in Security Hub findings. A status of READY indicates findings include the current parameter values. A status of UPDATING indicates that all findings may not include the current parameter values.

Parameters -> (map)

An object that identifies the name of a control parameter, its current value, and whether it has been customized.

key -> (string)

value -> (structure)

An object that provides the current value of a security control parameter and identifies whether it has been customized.

ValueType -> (string)

Identifies whether a control parameter uses a custom user-defined value or subscribes to the default Security Hub behavior.

When ValueType is set equal to DEFAULT , the default behavior can be a specific Security Hub default value, or the default behavior can be to ignore a specific parameter. When ValueType is set equal to DEFAULT , Security Hub ignores user-provided input for the Value field.

When ValueType is set equal to CUSTOM , the Value field can't be empty.

Value -> (tagged union structure)

The current value of a control parameter.

Note

This is a Tagged Union structure. Only one of the following top level keys can be set: Integer, IntegerList, Double, String, StringList, Boolean, Enum, EnumList.

Integer -> (integer)

A control parameter that is an integer.

IntegerList -> (list)

A control parameter that is a list of integers.

(integer)

Double -> (double)

(string)

Boolean -> (boolean)

Enum -> (string)

A control parameter that is an enum.

EnumList -> (list)

A control parameter that is a list of enums.

(string)

LastUpdateReason -> (string)

The most recent reason for updating the customizable properties of a security control. This differs from the UpdateReason field of the ` BatchUpdateStandardsControlAssociations https://docs.aws.amazon.com/securityhub/1.0/APIReference/API_BatchUpdateStandardsControlAssociations.html`__ API, which tracks the reason for updating the enablement status of a control. This field accepts alphanumeric characters in addition to white spaces, dashes, and underscores.

UnprocessedIds -> (list)

A security control (identified with SecurityControlId , SecurityControlArn , or a mix of both parameters) for which details cannot be returned.

(structure)

Provides details about a security control for which a response couldn't be returned.

SecurityControlId -> (string)

The control (identified with SecurityControlId , SecurityControlArn , or a mix of both parameters) for which a response couldn't be returned.

ErrorCode -> (string)

The error code for the unprocessed security control.

ErrorReason -> (string)

The reason why the security control was unprocessed.
