AWS SAM connectors now supports multiple destinations
Serverless application developers can now define multiple destinations when integrating AWS services with AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) connectors. Previously, SAM customers needed to create a SAM connector definition for every source and destination pair. For example, if a AWS::Serverless::Function needed to interact with three SNS topics using identical permissions, three SAM connectors would need to be defined for each connection from the function to each topic.
AWS App Runner introduces web application firewall (WAF) support for enhanced security
AWS App Runner now supports AWS web application firewall (WAF). AWS WAF gives you control over what traffic reaches your web applications or APIs depending upon your security and business needs. App Runner makes it easier for developers to quickly deploy containerized web applications and APIs to the cloud, at scale, and without managing infrastructure. Now, you can strengthen the security posture of your web applications against web exploits and bots while benefiting from the simplicity and scalability offered by App Runner. You can place a security layer in form of WAF web access control lists (web ACLs) in front of your App Runner service endpoint to allow, block, or monitor web requests to your applications on the basis of predefined rules such as IP addresses, HTTP headers, HTTP body, URI strings, SQL injection, and cross-site scripting.
AWS Glue Crawlers now support integration with Lake Formation
AWS Glue Crawlers now integrate with AWS Lake Formation, simplifying crawler setup, and supporting centralized permissions for in-account and cross-account crawling of AWS S3 data lakes.
Announcing Consolidated Control Findings and a Consolidated Controls View for AWS Security Hub
AWS announces the availability of a new Controls view and Consolidated Control Findings in AWS Security Hub. The new controls page shows all security controls in one place, along with their compliance status and a summary of passed and failed security checks. You can use this view to identify misconfigurations based on severity and number of failed resources, to improve your overall security score, and to configure each control across all standards in a single action. This release also includes a matching set of APIs to obtain, list, and update security controls across all your security standards.
Amazon EC2 C7g instances are now available in additional regions
Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) C7g instances are available in AWS Region Europe (Frankfurt), AWS Region Asia Pacific (Sydney) and AWS Region Asia Pacific (Tokyo). C7g instances are powered by AWS Graviton3 processors and built on the AWS Nitro System. AWS Graviton3 processors provide up to 25% better compute performance compared to AWS Graviton2 processors. The AWS Nitro System is a collection of AWS designed hardware and software innovations that deliver efficient, flexible, and secure cloud services with isolated multi-tenancy, private networking, and fast local storage. C7g instances are built for workloads including batch processing, ad serving, video encoding, gaming, scientific modelling, data analytics, and CPU-based artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) inference.
AWS Security Hub launches 7 new security best practice controls
AWS Security Hub has released 7 new controls for its AWS Foundational Security Best Practice standard (FSBP) to enhance your cloud security posture management (CSPM). These controls conduct fully-automatic checks against security best practices for Amazon ElastiCache. If you have Security Hub set to automatically turn on new controls and are already using AWS Foundational Security Best Practices, these new controls will run without having to take any additional action.
