AWS Security Hub introduces remediation plans to prioritize and fix security exposures

AWS Security Hub Remediation Plans

AWS Security Hub now offers remediation plans that group related exposure findings sharing a root cause. Instead of addressing each exposure individually, you can now fix a single underlying resource, such as a misconfigured setting or overly permissive policy, and resolve or reduce the severity of multiple exposures at once.

Each remediation plan includes:

• Prioritization guidance (Critical, High, Medium, or Low)
• Impact assessment
• Detailed step-by-step instructions with examples in multiple formats including AWS CLI, Terraform, CloudFormation, Python, and CDK

Security Hub automatically prioritizes plans so those reducing the most risk appear first, helping you focus remediation efforts where they matter most. AI agents can also programmatically consume remediation plans through the API to automate security fixes across your environment.

What to do

• Review your exposure findings and create remediation plans
• Prioritize and implement plans to reduce risk
• Use the API to automate remediation across your environment
