Description

AWS SDK for JavaScript SecurityHub Client for Node.js, Browser and React Native.

Security Hub provides you with a comprehensive view of the security state of your Amazon Web Services environment and resources. It also provides you with the readiness status of your environment based on controls from supported security standards. Security Hub collects security data from Amazon Web Services accounts, services, and integrated third-party products and helps you analyze security trends in your environment to identify the highest priority security issues. For more information about Security Hub, see the Security HubUser Guide .

When you use operations in the Security Hub API, the requests are executed only in the Amazon Web Services Region that is currently active or in the specific Amazon Web Services Region that you specify in your request. Any configuration or settings change that results from the operation is applied only to that Region. To make the same change in other Regions, execute the same command for each Region to apply the change to.

For example, if your Region is set to us-west-2, when you use CreateMembers to add a member account to Security Hub, the association of the member account with the administrator account is created only in the us-west-2 Region. Security Hub must be enabled for the member account in the same Region that the invitation was sent from.

The following throttling limits apply to using Security Hub API operations.

• BatchEnableStandards - RateLimit of 1 request per second, BurstLimit of 1 request per second.

• GetFindings - RateLimit of 3 requests per second. BurstLimit of 6 requests per second.

• UpdateFindings - RateLimit of 1 request per second. BurstLimit of 5 requests per second.

• UpdateStandardsControl - RateLimit of 1 request per second, BurstLimit of 5 requests per second.

• All other operations - RateLimit of 10 requests per second. BurstLimit of 30 requests per second.

Installing

To install the this package, simply type add or install @aws-sdk/client-securityhub using your favorite package manager:

• npm install @aws-sdk/client-securityhub
• yarn add @aws-sdk/client-securityhub
• pnpm add @aws-sdk/client-securityhub

Getting Started

Import

The AWS SDK is modulized by clients and commands. To send a request, you only need to import the SecurityHubClient and the commands you need, for example AcceptAdministratorInvitationCommand:

// ES5 example
const { SecurityHubClient, AcceptAdministratorInvitationCommand } = require("@aws-sdk/client-securityhub");

// ES6+ example
import { SecurityHubClient, AcceptAdministratorInvitationCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-securityhub";

Usage

To send a request, you:

• Initiate client with configuration (e.g. credentials, region).
• Initiate command with input parameters.
• Call send operation on client with command object as input.
• If you are using a custom http handler, you may call destroy() to close open connections.

// a client can be shared by different commands.
const client = new SecurityHubClient({ region: "REGION" });

const params = {
  /** input parameters */
};
const command = new AcceptAdministratorInvitationCommand(params);

Async/await

We recommend using await operator to wait for the promise returned by send operation as follows:

// async/await.
try {
  const data = await client.send(command);
  // process data.
} catch (error) {
  // error handling.
} finally {
  // finally.
}

Async-await is clean, concise, intuitive, easy to debug and has better error handling as compared to using Promise chains or callbacks.

Promises

You can also use Promise chaining to execute send operation.

client.send(command).then(
  (data) => {
    // process data.
  },
  (error) => {
    // error handling.
  }
);

Promises can also be called using .catch() and .finally() as follows:

client
  .send(command)
  .then((data) => {
    // process data.
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    // error handling.
  })
  .finally(() => {
    // finally.
  });

Callbacks

We do not recommend using callbacks because of callback hell, but they are supported by the send operation.

// callbacks.
client.send(command, (err, data) => {
  // proccess err and data.
});

v2 compatible style

The client can also send requests using v2 compatible style. However, it results in a bigger bundle size and may be dropped in next major version. More details in the blog post on modular packages in AWS SDK for JavaScript

import * as AWS from "@aws-sdk/client-securityhub";
const client = new AWS.SecurityHub({ region: "REGION" });

// async/await.
try {
  const data = await client.acceptAdministratorInvitation(params);
  // process data.
} catch (error) {
  // error handling.
}

// Promises.
client
  .acceptAdministratorInvitation(params)
  .then((data) => {
    // process data.
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    // error handling.
  });

// callbacks.
client.acceptAdministratorInvitation(params, (err, data) => {
  // proccess err and data.
});

Troubleshooting

When the service returns an exception, the error will include the exception information, as well as response metadata (e.g. request id).

try {
  const data = await client.send(command);
  // process data.
} catch (error) {
  const { requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId } = error.$metadata;
  console.log({ requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId });
  /**
   * The keys within exceptions are also parsed.
   * You can access them by specifying exception names:
   * if (error.name === 'SomeServiceException') {
   *     const value = error.specialKeyInException;
   * }
   */
}
