The Security Hub Organization solution will automate enabling AWS Security Hub by delegating administration to an account (e.g. Audit or Security Tooling) and configuring Security Hub for all the existing and future AWS Organization accounts.
Key solution features:
- Delegates Security Hub administration to another account (i.e Audit account).
- Assumes a role in the delegated administrator account to configure organizations management.
- Adds all existing accounts including the
management account
as members. - Configures a region aggregator within the
Home region
. - Assumes a role in each member account to enable/disable standards aligning with the delegated administrator account.
- Ability to disable Security Hub within all accounts and regions via a parameter and CloudFormation update event.
- All resources are deployed via AWS CloudFormation as a
StackSet
andStack Instance
within themanagement account
or a CloudFormationStack
within a specific account. - The Customizations for AWS Control Tower solution deploys all templates as a CloudFormation
StackSet
. - For parameter details, review the AWS CloudFormation templates.
- IAM role used by the Lambda function to enable the Security Hub Delegated Administrator Account within each region provided.
- IAM role is assumed by the Lambda function to configure Security Hub within the delegated administrator account and all member accounts.
- The Lambda function includes logic to enable and configure Security Hub.
- All the
AWS Lambda Function
logs are sent to a CloudWatch Log Group</aws/lambda/<LambdaFunctionName>
to help with debugging and traceability of the actions performed. - By default the
AWS Lambda Function
will create the CloudWatch Log Group and logs are encrypted with a CloudWatch Logs service managed encryption key. - Parameters are provided for changing the default log group retention and encryption KMS key.
- The Lambda Function creates/updates configuration parameters within the
SSM Parameter Store
on CloudFormation events and the parameters are used when triggered by theControl Tower Lifecycle Event Rule
orSNS Topic
.
- SQS dead letter queue used for retaining any failed Lambda events.
- SNS Topic used to notify subscribers when messages hit the DLQ.
- SNS Topic used to fanout the Lambda function for deleting the service within each account and region.
- The AWS Control Tower Lifecycle Event Rule triggers the
AWS Lambda Function
when a new AWS Account is provisioned through AWS Control Tower.
- The Security Hub delegated administrator is registered within the
management account
using the Security Hub APIs within each provided region.
The example solutions use Audit Account
instead of Security Tooling Account
to align with the default account name used within the AWS Control Tower setup process for the Security Account. The Account ID for the Audit Account
SSM parameter is
populated from the SecurityAccountId
parameter within the AWSControlTowerBP-BASELINE-CONFIG
StackSet.
- IAM role assumed by the Lambda function within the
management account
to configure Security Hub within each region provided.
- A region aggregator is configured within the
Home region
to aggregate findings from the configured regions, if more than one region is configured. - A parameter is provided to aggregate all configured Security Hub regions including any future regions.
- Security Hub is enabled within each provided region.
- Standards are enabled/disabled based on the provided parameter values.
- Security Hub is enabled from the delegated administrator account.
- Standards are configured by the solution to align with the delegated administrator account.
- Security Hub can be disabled by the solution via a provided parameter and CloudFormation update event.
- Download and Stage the SRA Solutions. Note: This only needs to be done once for all the solutions.
- Verify that the SRA Prerequisites Solution has been deployed.
- Deploy the Config Management Account solution to enable AWS Config within the
management account
.
Choose a Deployment Method:
In the management account (home region)
, launch an AWS CloudFormation Stack using one of the options below:
-
Option 1: (Recommended) Use the sra-securityhub-org-main-ssm.yaml template. This is a more automated approach where some of the CloudFormation parameters are populated from SSM parameters created by the SRA Prerequisites Solution.
aws cloudformation deploy --template-file $HOME/aws-sra-examples/aws_sra_examples/solutions/securityhub/securityhub_org/templates/sra-securityhub-org-main-ssm.yaml --stack-name sra-securityhub-org-main-ssm --capabilities CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM
-
Option 2: Use the sra-securityhub-org-main.yaml template. Input is required for the CloudFormation parameters where the default is not set.
aws cloudformation deploy --template-file $HOME/aws-sra-examples/aws_sra_examples/solutions/securityhub/securityhub_org/templates/sra-securityhub-org-main.yaml --stack-name sra-securityhub-org-main --capabilities CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM --parameter-overrides pAuditAccountId=<AUDIT_ACCOUNT_ID> pOrganizationId=<ORGANIZATION_ID> pRootOrganizationalUnitId=<ROOT_ORGANIZATIONAL_UNIT_ID> pSRAStagingS3BucketName=<SRA_STAGING_S3_BUCKET_NAME>
- Log into the
management account
and navigate to the Security Hub page- Select Settings and then General
- Verify that the delegated admin account is set for each region
- Log into the Audit account and navigate to the Security Hub page
- Verify the correct Security Hub configurations have been applied to each region
- Verify all existing accounts have been enabled and auto enabled is ON
- Verify the region aggregator is configured
- Verify the Auto-enable new controls is ON
- Log into a member account and verify the standards are configured correctly
- In the
management account (home region)
, change theDisable Security Hub
parameter totrue
and update the AWS CloudFormation Stack (sra-securityhub-org-main-ssm
orsra-securityhub-org-main
). - In the
management account (home region)
, verify that the Lambda function processing is complete by confirming no more CloudWatch logs are generated. - In the
management account (home region)
, delete the AWS CloudFormation Stack (sra-securityhub-org-main-ssm
orsra-securityhub-org-main
). - In the
management account (home region)
, delete the AWS CloudWatch Log Group (e.g. /aws/lambda/<solution_name>) for the Lambda function deployed.
