Summary

Updated references from 'Security Hub' to 'Security Hub CSPM' (Cloud Security Posture Management) throughout documentation, including console/API references and process descriptions

Security assessment

The changes emphasize CSPM (Cloud Security Posture Management) capabilities but do not address specific vulnerabilities. Updates appear to be branding/clarification of security features rather than response to security issues. Adding CSPM terminology better documents existing security posture management features.

-When you enable a standard in AWS Security Hub, all of the controls that apply to it are automatically enabled in that standard (the exception to this is service-managed standards). You can then disable and re-enable specific controls in the standard. However, we recommend aligning the enablement status of a control across all of your enabled standards.

-To enable a control in a standard, you must first enable at least one standard to which the control applies.

When you enable a control in one or more standards, Security Hub starts to generate findings for that control. Security Hub includes the [control status](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/securityhub/latest/userguide/controls-overall-status.html#controls-overall-status-values) in the calculation of the overall security score and standard security scores.
