AWS Security Hub extends unified security management to Microsoft Azure

Today, AWS announces that AWS Security Hub now monitors Microsoft Azure resources, extending risk analytics, cloud security posture management, vulnerability management, and security response management across both clouds. Many AWS customers running workloads in AWS and Azure have had to operate separate security tools for each environment, making it difficult to prioritize risks holistically or respond consistently. Security Hub now provides a single, unified experience to detect and respond to risks across your AWS and Azure environments.

Security Hub automatically discovers Azure resources, including Azure Virtual Machines (VMs), Azure Container Registry (ACR) container images, Azure Function Apps, and Azure identities, and evaluates them for misconfigurations, internet exposure, and software vulnerabilities. You receive posture checks against security standards including the CIS Benchmarks™ for Microsoft Azure Foundations, unified resource inventory, risk and exposure analysis, and automated response through existing EventBridge integrations. AWS and Azure findings appear in the same prioritized view with the same finding formats and automation workflows, so security teams can operate from one console rather than switching between tools.

Security Hub includes an independent 30-day free trial to monitor Azure resources that begins once you create your integration with Microsoft Azure. After the trial, you pay the same price for monitoring Azure resources and equivalent AWS resources. You can create an integration to Azure from all AWS Regions where Security Hub is available except Middle East (UAE), Middle East (Bahrain), Asia Pacific (Taipei), and Asia Pacific (New Zealand). You can also create integrations to Microsoft Azure for AWS Security Hub CSPM for posture management checks and Amazon Inspector for vulnerability management independently from AWS Security Hub.
