Summary

Standardized terminology by replacing 'AWS Direct Connect' with 'Direct Connect' and updated section headers/link references

Security assessment

Changes focus on naming consistency and documentation structure. While the content discusses private connectivity (a security-related feature), the updates themselves do not add new security guidance or address vulnerabilities.
