Severity - AWS Security Hub

Severity

The severity of the finding.

The finding provider can provide the initial severity. The finding provider can only update the severity if it hasn't been updated using BatchUpdateFindings.

The finding must have either Label or Normalized populated. If only one of these attributes is populated, then Security Hub automatically populates the other one. If neither attribute is populated, then the finding is invalid. Label is the preferred attribute.

Contents

Label

The severity value of the finding. The allowed values are the following.

  • INFORMATIONAL - No issue was found.

  • LOW - The issue does not require action on its own.

  • MEDIUM - The issue must be addressed but not urgently.

  • HIGH - The issue must be addressed as a priority.

  • CRITICAL - The issue must be remediated immediately to avoid it escalating.

If you provide Normalized and don't provide Label, then Label is set automatically as follows.

  • 0 - INFORMATIONAL

  • 1–39 - LOW

  • 40–69 - MEDIUM

  • 70–89 - HIGH
