Review Pre-Deployment Considerations

...

Before you configure your AMP and AWS account, review the following pre-deployment considerations:


Security Findings

When you sync your AMP account with AWS Security Hub, Armor will send the following information to AWS Security Hub:

Security dataDescriptionNumber of security findings
MalwareIn relation to malware, Armor communicates with AWS Security Hub on an hourly basis. If Armor detects a malware event, this information will be sent to AWS Security Hub within an hour.

To learn more about Malware Protection, see Malware Protection.

The number of security findings is based on the number of virtual machines, as well as the security posture of those virtual machines.

Malware is a seldom event, with only a couple events reported per day.

Vulnerability Scanning

In relation to vulnerability scanning, Armor communicates with AWS Security Hub on a weekly basis. If Armor detects a vulnerability, this information will be sent to AWS Security Hub within a week.

For vulnerabilities, Armor will only send vulnerabilities that are critical or high, based on the CVSS scoring structure. In these cases, Armor will only send vulnerabilities that contain a score of 5.5 or higher.

To learn more about Vulnerability Scanning, see Vulnerability Scanning.

The number of security findings is based on the number of virtual machines, as well as the security posture of those virtual machines.

For large enterprise customers, the number of vulnerabilities can range from 100 to 1,000 within a weekly time frame.


Exchanging Account Information

To properly sync your AMP account with AWS, the Armor AWS Account will assume a role in your AWS account. To accomplish this, in AMP you will copy the Armor AWS account number and a unique external ID, and then paste into your AWS account. Afterwards, you will receive an AWS-generated ARN from the role, which you will then paste into AMP.


ASFF Types

The following table describes the ASFF-formatted finding types for the security finding that are sent to AWS Security Hub.
