AWS Security Hub launches 7 new security controls

AWS Security Hub has released 7 new security controls, increasing the total number of controls offered to 430. Security Hub now supports controls for new resource types, such as Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) Multi-Region Access Points and Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (MSK) Connect. Security Hub also released new control for Amazon GuardDuty EKS Runtime Monitoring. For the full list of recently released controls and the AWS Regions in which they are available, visit the Security Hub user guide.

To use the new controls, turn on the standard they belong to. Security Hub will then start evaluating your security posture and monitoring your resources for the relevant security controls. You can use central configuration to do so across all your organization accounts and linked Regions with a single action. If you are already using the relevant standards and have Security Hub configured to automatically enable new controls, these new controls will run without taking any additional action.
