AWS securityhub documentation change

Service: securityhub · 2025-11-22 · Documentation low

File: securityhub/latest/userguide/exposure-ec2-instance.md

Summary

Updated anchor links, clarified Auto Scaling terminology, and standardized load balancer acronyms.

Security assessment

Changes improve documentation clarity but don't address security vulnerabilities or add new security guidance. Terminology updates (e.g., 'Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling') don't impact security posture.
