Traditional web security reports can leave you overwhelmed and confused. Stop merely reacting to competing security events and juggling flurries of unfocused alerts. Instead, set optimal defenses ahead of time and easily deflect malicious web requests.

Why Security Hub?

Currently, you may use Web Security Analytics, which shows attack requests across different attack types and dimensions. It lets you filter and hone in on specific periods and fluctuations to identify significant security events. Security Hub complements that detailed analysis by providing context with a big-picture view. It’s where you discover issues that you can then analyze and evaluate further in web security analytics. When you’re monitoring protections, Security Hub is your high-level first stop.

Security Hub replaces Security Center
