AWS athena documentation change

Service: athena · 2025-08-13 · Documentation medium

File: athena/latest/ug/connectors-bigquery.md

Summary

Restructured Glue connections section, added security notes requiring AWS Secrets Manager and connection version constraints

Security assessment

The update enforces credential storage in AWS Secrets Manager and adds security constraints (multiplexing handler unsupported), but does not indicate remediation of a specific security flaw. This strengthens security documentation for credential handling.
