Amazon Security Hub and interface VPC endpoints (Amazon PrivateLink)

You can establish a private connection between your VPC and Amazon Security Hub by creating an interface VPC endpoint. Interface endpoints are powered by Amazon PrivateLink, a technology that enables you to privately access Security Hub APIs without an internet gateway, NAT device, VPN connection, or Amazon Direct Connect connection. Instances in your VPC don't need public IP addresses to communicate with Security Hub APIs. Traffic between your VPC and Security Hub does not leave the Amazon network.

Each interface endpoint is represented by one or more Elastic Network Interfaces in your subnets. For more information, see Access an Amazon Web Services service using an interface VPC endpoint in the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud Guide.

Considerations for Security Hub VPC endpoints

Before you set up an interface VPC endpoint for Security Hub, ensure that you review the prerequisites and other information in the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud Guide.

Security Hub supports making calls to all of its API actions from your VPC.

Creating an interface VPC endpoint for Security Hub

You can create a VPC endpoint for the Security Hub service using either the Amazon VPC console or the Amazon Command Line Interface (Amazon CLI). For more information, see Create a VPC endpoint in the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud Guide.

Create a VPC endpoint for Security Hub using the following service name:

com.amazonaws.region.securityhub

Where region is the Region code for the applicable Amazon Web Services Region.

If you enable private DNS for the endpoint, you can make API requests to Security Hub using its default DNS name for the Region, for example, securityhub.us-east-1.amazonaws.com for the US East (N. Virginia) Region.

Creating a VPC endpoint policy for Security Hub

You can attach an endpoint policy to your VPC endpoint that controls access to Security Hub. The policy specifies the following information:

  • The principal that can perform actions.

  • The actions that can be performed.

  • The resources on which actions can be performed.

For more information, see Control access to VPC endpoints using endpoint policies in the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud Guide.

Example: VPC endpoint policy for Security Hub actions

The following is an example of an endpoint policy for Security Hub. When attached to an endpoint, this policy grants access to the listed Security Hub actions for all principals on all resources.

{
   "Statement":[
      {
         "Principal":"*",
         "Effect":"Allow",
         "Action":[
            "securityhub:getFindings",
            "securityhub:getEnabledStandards",
            "securityhub:getInsights"
         ],
         "Resource":"*"
      }
   ]
}

Shared subnets

You can't create, describe, modify, or delete VPC endpoints in subnets that are shared with you. However, you can use the VPC endpoints in subnets that are shared with you. For information about VPC sharing, see Share your VPC subnets with other accounts in the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud Guide.
