Frequently Asked Questions
How does Security Hub Essentials pricing turn resources into billable units?
AWS prices the Security Hub Essentials plan with consolidated resource units instead of a separate rate for every covered service. This calculator applies AWS's published weighting for EC2 instances, ECR images, Lambda functions, and IAM principals, then multiplies the total by the Essentials per-resource rate.
When should I add Threat analytics to the estimate?
Add Threat analytics when you want to model the optional log-analysis charges layered on top of Essentials. Enter your monthly CloudTrail management events and the other analytics data processed in GB to estimate that add-on separately from the base plan.
Why does Lambda code scanning follow the Security Hub estimator basis instead of live regional variance?
AWS documents that the Security Hub cost estimator uses US East (N. Virginia) pricing for estimates. This calculator follows that published estimator basis for the Lambda code scanning add-on so the estimate stays aligned with the official AWS Security Hub guidance.
