type securityProfileName

string

param securityProfileName

[REQUIRED]

The name you are giving to the security profile.

type securityProfileDescription

string

param securityProfileDescription

A description of the security profile.

type behaviors

list

param behaviors

Specifies the behaviors that, when violated by a device (thing), cause an alert.

  • (dict) --

    A Device Defender security profile behavior.

    • name (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      The name you have given to the behavior.

    • metric (string) --

      What is measured by the behavior.

    • metricDimension (dict) --

      The dimension for a metric in your behavior. For example, using a TOPIC_FILTER dimension, you can narrow down the scope of the metric only to MQTT topics whose name match the pattern specified in the dimension.

      • dimensionName (string) -- [REQUIRED]

        A unique identifier for the dimension.

      • operator (string) --

        Defines how the dimensionValues of a dimension are interpreted. For example, for DimensionType TOPIC_FILTER, with IN operator, a message will be counted only if its topic matches one of the topic filters. With NOT_IN Operator, a message will be counted only if it doesn't match any of the topic filters. The operator is optional: if it's not provided (is null ), it will be interpreted as IN .

    • criteria (dict) --

      The criteria that determine if a device is behaving normally in regard to the metric .

      • comparisonOperator (string) --

        The operator that relates the thing measured (metric ) to the criteria (containing a value or statisticalThreshold ).

      • value (dict) --

        The value to be compared with the metric .

        • count (integer) --

          If the comparisonOperator calls for a numeric value, use this to specify that numeric value to be compared with the metric .

        • cidrs (list) --

          If the comparisonOperator calls for a set of CIDRs, use this to specify that set to be compared with the metric .

          • (string) --

        • ports (list) --

          If the comparisonOperator calls for a set of ports, use this to specify that set to be compared with the metric .

          • (integer) --

      • durationSeconds (integer) --

        Use this to specify the time duration over which the behavior is evaluated, for those criteria which have a time dimension (for example, NUM_MESSAGES_SENT ). For a statisticalThreshhold metric comparison, measurements from all devices are accumulated over this time duration before being used to calculate percentiles, and later, measurements from an individual device are also accumulated over this time duration before being given a percentile rank.

      • consecutiveDatapointsToAlarm (integer) --

        If a device is in violation of the behavior for the specified number of consecutive datapoints, an alarm occurs. If not specified, the default is 1.

      • consecutiveDatapointsToClear (integer) --

        If an alarm has occurred and the offending device is no longer in violation of the behavior for the specified number of consecutive datapoints, the alarm is cleared. If not specified, the default is 1.

      • statisticalThreshold (dict) --

        A statistical ranking (percentile) which indicates a threshold value by which a behavior is determined to be in compliance or in violation of the behavior.

        • statistic (string) --

          The percentile which resolves to a threshold value by which compliance with a behavior is determined. Metrics are collected over the specified period (durationSeconds ) from all reporting devices in your account and statistical ranks are calculated. Then, the measurements from a device are collected over the same period. If the accumulated measurements from the device fall above or below (comparisonOperator ) the value associated with the percentile specified, then the device is considered to be in compliance with the behavior, otherwise a violation occurs.

type alertTargets

dict

        The ARN of the notification target to which alerts are sent.

      • roleArn (string) -- [REQUIRED]

        The ARN of the role that grants permission to send alerts to the notification target.

type additionalMetricsToRetain

list

param additionalMetricsToRetain

type behaviors

list

param behaviors

Specifies the behaviors that, when violated by a device (thing), cause an alert.

  • (dict) --

    A Device Defender security profile behavior.

    • name (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      The name you have given to the behavior.

    • metric (string) --

      What is measured by the behavior.

    • metricDimension (dict) --

      The dimension for a metric in your behavior. For example, using a TOPIC_FILTER dimension, you can narrow down the scope of the metric only to MQTT topics whose name match the pattern specified in the dimension.

      • dimensionName (string) -- [REQUIRED]

        A unique identifier for the dimension.

      • operator (string) --

        Defines how the dimensionValues of a dimension are interpreted. For example, for DimensionType TOPIC_FILTER, with IN operator, a message will be counted only if its topic matches one of the topic filters. With NOT_IN Operator, a message will be counted only if it doesn't match any of the topic filters. The operator is optional: if it's not provided (is null ), it will be interpreted as IN .

    • criteria (dict) --

      The criteria that determine if a device is behaving normally in regard to the metric .

      • comparisonOperator (string) --

        The operator that relates the thing measured (metric ) to the criteria (containing a value or statisticalThreshold ).

      • value (dict) --

        The value to be compared with the metric .

        • count (integer) --

          If the comparisonOperator calls for a numeric value, use this to specify that numeric value to be compared with the metric .

        • cidrs (list) --

          If the comparisonOperator calls for a set of CIDRs, use this to specify that set to be compared with the metric .

          • (string) --

        • ports (list) --

          If the comparisonOperator calls for a set of ports, use this to specify that set to be compared with the metric .

          • (integer) --

      • durationSeconds (integer) --

        Use this to specify the time duration over which the behavior is evaluated, for those criteria which have a time dimension (for example, NUM_MESSAGES_SENT ). For a statisticalThreshhold metric comparison, measurements from all devices are accumulated over this time duration before being used to calculate percentiles, and later, measurements from an individual device are also accumulated over this time duration before being given a percentile rank.

      • consecutiveDatapointsToAlarm (integer) --

        If a device is in violation of the behavior for the specified number of consecutive datapoints, an alarm occurs. If not specified, the default is 1.

      • consecutiveDatapointsToClear (integer) --

        If an alarm has occurred and the offending device is no longer in violation of the behavior for the specified number of consecutive datapoints, the alarm is cleared. If not specified, the default is 1.

      • statisticalThreshold (dict) --

        A statistical ranking (percentile) which indicates a threshold value by which a behavior is determined to be in compliance or in violation of the behavior.

        • statistic (string) --

          The percentile which resolves to a threshold value by which compliance with a behavior is determined. Metrics are collected over the specified period (durationSeconds ) from all reporting devices in your account and statistical ranks are calculated. Then, the measurements from a device are collected over the same period. If the accumulated measurements from the device fall above or below (comparisonOperator ) the value associated with the percentile specified, then the device is considered to be in compliance with the behavior, otherwise a violation occurs.

type alertTargets

dict

param alertTargets

Where the alerts are sent. (Alerts are always sent to the console.)

  • (string) --

    The type of alert target: one of "SNS".

    • (dict) --

      • alertTargetArn (string) -- [REQUIRED]

        The ARN of the notification target to which alerts are sent.

      • roleArn (string) -- [REQUIRED]

        The ARN of the role that grants permission to send alerts to the notification target.

type additionalMetricsToRetain

list

param additionalMetricsToRetain

A list of metrics whose data is retained (stored). By default, data is retained for any metric used in the profile's behaviors , but it is also retained for any metric specified here.

Note: This API field is deprecated. Please use UpdateSecurityProfileRequest$additionalMetricsToRetainV2 instead.

  • (string) --

type additionalMetricsToRetainV2

list

param additionalMetricsToRetainV2

      • dimensionName (string) -- [REQUIRED]

        A unique identifier for the dimension.

      • operator (string) --

        Defines how the dimensionValues of a dimension are interpreted. For example, for DimensionType TOPIC_FILTER, with IN operator, a message will be counted only if its topic matches one of the topic filters. With NOT_IN Operator, a message will be counted only if it doesn't match any of the topic filters. The operator is optional: if it's not provided (is null ), it will be interpreted as IN .

boolean

param deleteBehaviors

If true, delete all behaviors defined for this security profile. If any behaviors are defined in the current invocation, an exception occurs.

type deleteAlertTargets

boolean

param deleteAlertTargets

If true, delete all alertTargets defined for this security profile. If any alertTargets are defined in the current invocation, an exception occurs.

type deleteAdditionalMetricsToRetain

boolean

param deleteAdditionalMetricsToRetain

If true, delete all additionalMetricsToRetain defined for this security profile. If any additionalMetricsToRetain are defined in the current invocation, an exception occurs.
