Can AWS Security Hub and Google Security Command Center be used together?

Sometimes. Use both only when each has a distinct owner and responsibility; otherwise duplicated controls, telemetry or deployment paths create cost and ambiguity.

Q: Is AWS Security Hub better than Google Security Command Center?

There is no context-free winner. AWS Security Hub is usually stronger when aws estates wanting provider-native findings and control standards. Google Security Command Center is usually stronger when google cloud estates wanting provider-native asset and risk context.

A decision guide for teams choosing an operating model—not a feature-count contest. Validate current limits and pricing in the linked product documentation before committing.

01 / Short answer

Choose for the constraint you cannot ignore.

02 / Decision matrix

The operating differences.

Criterion	AWS Security Hub	Google Security Command Center
Operating model	AWS-native aggregation and posture management across accounts and Regions.	Google Cloud-native posture, threat and finding management at organization scope.
Best fit	AWS estates wanting provider-native findings and control standards.	Google Cloud estates wanting provider-native asset and risk context.
Main trade-off	Findings still need context, ownership and a remediation workflow.	Service tier and organization configuration affect capabilities.
Pricing basis	Usage and enabled security services	Tier, assets and enabled services
Portability lens	Most value comes from its own platform integration; price migration explicitly.	Most value comes from its own platform integration; price migration explicitly.

03 / Selection test

Run a proof of operation, not a polished demo.

The test should include deployment, identity, telemetry, failure recovery and one real policy requirement. A happy-path deployment cannot expose day-two cost.

Native context
Test this with one representative workload and record the operational owner, failure path and exit cost.
03
Attack-path analysis
Test this with one representative workload and record the operational owner, failure path and exit cost.

Choose AWS Security Hub when

AWS estates wanting provider-native findings and control standards.

Findings still need context, ownership and a remediation workflow.

Choose Google Security Command Center when

Google Cloud estates wanting provider-native asset and risk context.

Service tier and organization configuration affect capabilities.

Use both only when

The responsibility boundary is explicit.

Name which system owns identity, deployment, policy, telemetry and recovery. If both appear to own the same decision, simplify.

04 / Due diligence

Verify before signing or migrating.

Current regional availability, limits and deprecation policy.
Total cost at expected usage, including data, support and operations.
Identity, audit-log and private-network requirements.
Backup, export and exit path for configuration and data.
Skills required for upgrades, incidents and policy exceptions.
