Summary

Updated landing zone definition, restructured content, and revised AWS Control Tower documentation

The changes emphasize security aspects of landing zones (identity management, data security) but do not address a specific security issue. The updates refine existing security documentation rather than introducing new vulnerabilities or fixes.
