AWS controlcatalog documentation change

Service: controlcatalog · 2025-05-25 · Documentation low

File: controlcatalog/latest/userguide/logging-using-cloudtrail.md

Summary

Updated documentation to rebrand 'AWS Control Catalog' to 'Control Catalog' and clarify its relationship with AWS Control Tower. Added examples of console actions like enabling/disabling controls.

Security assessment

Changes focus on branding consistency and service relationship clarification rather than addressing security vulnerabilities. While CloudTrail logging is a security feature, these updates refine existing documentation rather than introducing new security capabilities or addressing specific vulnerabilities.

-AWS Control Catalog is integrated with AWS CloudTrail, a service that provides a record of actions taken by a user, role, or an AWS service in AWS Control Catalog. CloudTrail captures all API calls for AWS Control Catalog as events. The calls captured include calls from the AWS Control Catalog console and code calls to the AWS Control Catalog API operations. If you create a trail, you can enable continuous delivery of CloudTrail events to an Amazon S3 bucket, including events for AWS Control Catalog. If you don't configure a trail, you can still view the most recent events in the CloudTrail console in **Event history**. Using the information collected by CloudTrail, you can determine the request that was made to AWS Control Catalog, the IP address from which the request was made, who made the request, when it was made, and additional details.
+As part of AWS Control Tower Control Catalog is integrated with AWS CloudTrail, a service that provides a record of actions taken by a user, role, or an AWS service.. CloudTrail captures all API calls for Control Catalog as events. The calls captured include calls directly from the AWS Control Tower console such as to enable or disable a control, and code calls to the Control Catalog API operations. If you create a trail, you can enable continuous delivery of CloudTrail events to an Amazon S3 bucket, including events that pertain to the controls in Control Catalog. If you don't configure a trail, you can still view the most recent events in the CloudTrail console in **Event history**. Using the information collected by CloudTrail, you can determine the request that was made to Control Catalog (by means of AWS Control Tower), the IP address from which the request was made, who made the request, when it was made, and additional details.
