Amazon Web Services (AWS) expanded its Security Hub to more multicloud environments, adding resource monitoring for Microsoft Azure.
A blog post penned by security services director Michael Fuller revealed the cloud security posture management service was set to extend to its hyperscale rival, with it able to evaluate Azure virtual machines (VMs), container images, and function apps for potential vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.
“Most enterprises I talk to run workloads across multiple cloud providers,” Fuller wrote. “Their security teams are toggling between consoles, normalizing finding formats manually, and maintaining separate automation workflows for each environment. That fragmentation slows response and can create blind spots. Security Hub eliminates it.”
With the now Azure-infused Security Hub offering, engineers would have a single view of Microsoft resources alongside AWS, with shared automation workflows.
Fuller billed it as “one place to understand your complete security posture, regardless of where the workload runs, so you can prioritize risks holistically and respond consistently.”
Security Hub debuted back in the spring, with initial partners including Splunk, CrowdStrike, Proofpoint, and Zscaler, with the hyperscaler aiming to create a single, simplified viewpoint across enterprise technology stacks.
Beyond extending support for Azure, AWS has also made its Security Hub AI inventory generally available.
The offering automatically discovers and catalogs AI workloads across a user’s AWS environment. It’s also a visibility play, viewed as a means for enterprises to prioritize and secure all of their connected AI assets.
“Without centralized visibility connecting AI assets to active threats and misconfigurations, organizations cannot prioritize and secure what they don't know exists,” Fuller added.
