AWS have recently announced the availability of Security Hub in the Asia Pacific Region.
You can now use Security Hub to centrally view and manage the security posture of your AWS accounts in this Region and take advantage of more than 110 security controls to automatically check your environment against security industry standards and best practices.

AWS Security Hub has released 4 new controls for its National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) SP 800-53 Rev. 5 standard. These controls conduct fully-automatic security checks against Elastic Load Balancing (ELB), Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), Amazon Redshift, and Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). To use these controls, you should first turn on the NIST standard. If you are already using the standard and have Security Hub set to automatically turn on new controls, these new controls will run without having to take any additional action.
With this release, Security Hub now supports up to 257 security controls to automatically check your security posture in AWS.
For more information about the new controls and the AWS Services which are included head over to the AWS announcement.
The AWS Security Hub team launched announcements for Security Hub features via an SNS topic in August 2022. The team now publishes announcements to stay up to date with feature releases. To receive these announcements all you need to do is subscribe to the AWS Security Hub SNS topic in your preferred region.
