AWS Security Hub CSPM now supports CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark v5.0
AWS Security Hub Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) now supports the Center for Internet Security (CIS) AWS Foundations Benchmark v5.0. This industry-standard benchmark provides security configuration best practices for AWS with clear implementation and assessment procedures. The new standard includes 40 controls that perform automated checks against AWS resources to evaluate compliance with the latest version 5.0 requirements.
The standard is now available in all AWS Regions where Security Hub CSPM is currently available, including the AWS GovCloud (US) and the China Regions. To quickly enable the standard across your AWS environment, we recommend that you use Security Hub CSPM central configuration. With this approach, you can enable the standard in all or only some of your organization's accounts and across all AWS Regions that are linked to Security Hub CSPM with a single action.
To learn more, see CIS v5.0 in the AWS Security Hub CSPM User Guide. To receive notifications about new Security Hub CSPM features and controls, subscribe to the Security Hub CSPM SNS topic. You can also try Security Hub at no cost for 30 days with the AWS Free Tier offering.
