Summary

Added entries for new AWS managed policy AmazonEKSMCPReadOnlyAccess and network observability feature

Security assessment

The change documents a new read-only managed policy which improves security posture through least-privilege access, but does not address a specific security vulnerability. Network observability enhancement improves monitoring capabilities but isn't explicitly security-focused.
