Coverage findings in Security Hub

Note

Security Hub is in preview release and is subject to change.

Coverage findings for Security Hub provide visibility into which AWS security features are enabled and where there might be gaps in coverage in a standalone account or across an organization's member accounts. Enabling additional security features will enhance the detection capabilities of Security Hub. Coverage Findings evaluate what GuardDuty, Amazon Inspector, Macie, and Security Hub CSPM features are enabled for an account. These findings appear in the Security Coverage widget on the Security Hub dashboard with the ability to drill down into more detailed views by specific security capability. For the delegated administrator, this widget shows coverage breakdown across all Security Hub enabled member accounts.

Limitations
  • For member accounts, coverage information is aggregated across linked AWS Regions, but only for that member account.

  • Coverage information is not shown for accounts not onboarded to Security Hub

Coverage findings for AWS Security Hub CSPM

Security Hub CSPM Coverage Findings assess whether a qualified posture management security standard is enabled in an account. Enabling any Security Hub CSPM Standard will qualify, with the exception of AWS Control Tower and Resource Tagging standards.

It can take up to 24 hours to detect standards enabled by default when enabling Security Hub CSPM.
