Using Terraform

# Enable AWS Security Hub in the target region for this account.
# Substitute AWS_REGION with the region where you want Security Hub enabled.
provider "aws" {
  region = "AWS_REGION" # e.g., "us-east-1"
}

resource "aws_securityhub_account" "this" {}

Enabling aws_securityhub_account will incur Security Hub charges in the configured region and must be applied separately per region you want monitored; if your account is managed by an organization-wide Security Hub administrator, this should be managed from that admin account to avoid conflicts.On terraform plan, you should see one new resource to add: aws_securityhub_account.this with no changes to existing resources.
