Introduction

CrowdStrike has crafted a highly extensible platform that allows customers and partners alike to leverage APIs with other security solutions products. In this video and article, we will take a look at CrowdStrike’s integration with the AWS Security Hub platform.

Getting Started

To get started with the required CrowdStrike API, the first step is to define the API client and set its scope. This article addresses setting access and setting up a new API client key. In addition, complete API documentation is available in the Falcon user interface. The new API client will require the following scopes:

    • Event Streams API – Read
    • Hosts API – Read
    • Sensor Download API – Read

The detailed configuration steps as well as the architecture, data flow and installation are documented in the integration guide.

How can customers use CrowdStrike event data within the Security Hub interface?

Once you have installed and configured the Security Hub integration, the AMI you launch will begin to send real time CrowdStrike Events to Security Hub. This allows you to view new threats at a glance.
