Enabling new controls in enabled standards automatically - AWS Security Hub

Enabling new controls in enabled standards automatically

AWS Security Hub regularly adds new controls to standards. You can choose whether to automatically enable new controls in your enabled standards. If you do not automatically enable new controls, then you must enable them manually. See Enabling and disabling controls in all standards.

Security Hub doesn't enable new controls when they are added to a standard that you disabled.

Choose your preferred access method, and follow the steps to automatically enable new controls in enabled standards.
