AwsSecurityFinding - AWS Security Hub

AwsSecurityFinding

Provides a consistent format for Security Hub findings. AwsSecurityFinding format allows you to share findings between AWS security services and third-party solutions.

Note

A finding is a potential security issue generated either by AWS services or by the integrated third-party solutions and standards checks.

Contents

AwsAccountId

The AWS account ID that a finding is generated in.

Length Constraints: 12.

Type: String

Pattern: .*\S.*

Required: Yes

CreatedAt

Indicates when the security findings provider created the potential security issue that a finding captured.

This field accepts only the specified formats. Timestamps can end with Z or ("+" / "-") time-hour [":" time-minute]. The time-secfrac after seconds is limited to a maximum of 9 digits. The offset is bounded by +/-18:00. Here are valid timestamp formats that you can send to Security Hub:

  • YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ (for example, 2019-01-31T23:00:00Z)

  • YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.mmmmmmmmmZ (for example, 2019-01-31T23:00:00.123456789Z)

  • YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS+HH:MM (for example, 2024-01-04T15:25:10+17:59)

  • YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS-HHMM (for example, 2024-01-04T15:25:10-1759)

  • YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.mmmmmmmmm+HH:MM (for example, 2024-01-04T15:25:10.123456789+17:59)

If a finding provider sends a finding to Security Hub that contains a timestamp in nanoseconds, we round it to milliseconds. For example, we round 2024-10-31T23:00:00.123456789Z to 2024-10-31T23:00:00.123Z.
