AWS has updated its Security Hub service to extend monitoring to Microsoft Azure and add artificial intelligence-specific protections, positioning the service as a unified control plane for cloud and AI security. The announcement, made earlier this month, includes four main capabilities: Azure resource monitoring, GuardDuty AI Protection for AI workloads, GuardDuty AI-powered investigations (preview), and Security Hub AI inventory. Security Hub can now discover and monitor Azure Virtual Machines, container images in Azure Container Registry, Function Apps and identities, evaluating them for misconfigurations, internet exposure and software vulnerabilities, including checks aligned with the CIS Microsoft Azure Foundations Benchmark. Findings appear alongside AWS findings using the same format, prioritization logic and automation workflows. AWS leverages AWS Config to power near-real-time, change-triggered evaluation of Azure resources. Pricing uses a per-resource-per-month model, charging only for four resource types—virtual machines, container images, functions and identities—across both AWS and Azure. Michael Fuller, director of security services at AWS, stated that customers have been clear they do not want to buy a different tool when they already have Security Hub.
