Summary

Changed 'AWS CloudFormation' to 'CloudFormation' in a policy example description

Security assessment

The change is a minor terminology update (removing 'AWS' prefix from CloudFormation). It does not alter security guidance or introduce new security considerations. The policy example still emphasizes SSL usage and general IAM conditions.

-  * **Use conditions in IAM policies to further restrict access** – You can add a condition to your policies to limit access to actions and resources.

You can also use conditions to grant access to service actions if they are used through a specific AWS service, such as AWS CloudFormation.
