Enables Security Hub CSPM for your account in the current Region or the Region you specify in the request.

When you enable Security Hub CSPM, you grant to Security Hub CSPM the permissions necessary to gather findings from other services that are integrated with Security Hub CSPM.

When you use the `EnableSecurityHub` operation to enable Security Hub CSPM, you also automatically enable the following standards:

Other standards are not automatically enabled. 

To opt out of automatically enabled standards, set `EnableDefaultStandards` to `false`.

After you enable Security Hub CSPM, to enable a standard, use the `BatchEnableStandards` operation. To disable a standard, use the `BatchDisableStandards` operation.
