You are an Amazon Web Services (AWS) admin who manages AWS resources and services across your organization. As part of your role, you need to be able to detect Security Hub alerts generated from AWS.

AWS Security Hub collects and consolidates findings from AWS security services enabled in your environment, such as:

  • intrusion detection findings from Amazon GuardDuty
  • vulnerability scans from Amazon Inspector
  • S3 bucket policy findings from Amazon Macie
  • publicly accessible and cross-account resources from IAM Access Analyzer
  • resources that lack WAF coverage from AWS Firewall Manager

This search is designed to uncover these alerts.
