AWS Security Hub launches 9 new security best practice controls
AWS Security Hub has released 9 new controls for its AWS Foundational Security Best Practice standard (FSBP) to enhance your cloud security posture management (CSPM).These controls conduct fully-automatic checks against security best practices for your AWS account settings and for services such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), Amazon SageMaker, Amazon API Gateway, Amazon CloudFront, AWS WAF, and AWS CodeBuild. If you have Security Hub set to automatically enable new controls and are already using AWS Foundational Security Best Practices, these new controls will run without having to take any additional action.
