Summary

Added EKS cluster support in isolation procedures and termination protection documentation

Security assessment

Changes expand documentation of security features (network isolation via security groups, termination protection) to cover EKS clusters, but do not indicate remediation of a specific security vulnerability. These represent enhanced documentation of existing security controls rather than patching issues.
