Summary

Updated Microsoft Exchange connector feature table to differentiate between Latest and Legacy connectors, added Customer Managed Key (CMK) support details, and modified VPC/identity crawling capabilities

Security assessment

Added documentation about Customer Managed Key (CMK) support for the legacy connector, which is a security feature. No evidence of addressing a specific vulnerability. VPC support removal in latest connector impacts network isolation but isn't explicitly tied to a security fix.
