The logical order is:
1. Enable (Security Hub)
2. Define rules (standards)
3. Collect data (services)
4. Test (findings)
5. Observe (dashboard)
6. Prioritize
7. Fix
8. Automate
9. Monitor
1. Enable Security Hub (the security center)
AWS Security Hub
Why start here?
Because:
It centralizes all AWS security information
✔️ Without it → no global visibility
It’s the “security dashboard”.
---
2. Enable security standards
Why next?
Because:
You need to define security rules and best practices
✔️ Examples:
➡️ AWS best practices
➡️ compliance frameworks (CIS, etc.)
You define what is “secure” or “risky”.
---
3. Connect services (GuardDuty, Inspector…)
Amazon GuardDuty
Amazon Inspector
👉 Why here?
Because:
Security Hub does not work alone
It needs data from other services
✔️ More sources = better detection
---
4. Generate findings (tests)
👉 Why?
Because:
You need to create events to test the system
✔️ Examples:
➡️ misconfiguration
➡️ vulnerability
💡 No issue → no alert
---
5. Analyze the dashboard
👉 Why now?
Because:
Data is available
✔️ You can see:
➡️ number of findings
➡️ severity levels
---
6. Filter and prioritize
Why?
Because:
There are many alerts
✔️ You classify:
➡️ critical
➡️ less important
Not everything is urgent
---
7. Fix the issues
👉 Why after analysis?
Because:
You know what needs to be fixed
✔️ Examples:
➡️ close an open port
➡️ fix a misconfiguration
---
8. Automate alerts
Why here?
Because:
You want automatic reactions
✔️ Examples:
➡️ notifications
➡️ automated actions
Faster response, less manual work
---
9. Monitoring and compliance
👉 Why last?
Because:
Security is a continuous process
✔️ You track:
➡️ improvements
➡️ compliance
➡️ risk evolution
