AWS athena documentation change
Summary
Updated connector documentation to state it can be registered with Glue Data Catalog and supports Lake Formation access controls
Security assessment
The change adds documentation about Lake Formation data access controls (catalog/database/table/column/row/tag levels), which is a security feature. However, there is no evidence this addresses a specific existing security vulnerability.
