AWS securityhub documentation change

Service: securityhub · 2025-12-10 · Documentation low

File: securityhub/latest/userguide/rds-controls.md

Summary

Updated terminology from 'Security Hub controls' to 'Security Hub CSPM controls' throughout the document, including control names, default value references, and rule descriptions.

Security assessment

The changes are purely terminological updates (adding 'CSPM' to control names and references). There's no evidence of addressing vulnerabilities, configuration weaknesses, or incident response. The security controls themselves remain unchanged; only their naming convention was updated to reflect product positioning.

Read replicas are excluded from evaluation. The control fails if backups aren't enabled for the instance, or if the retention period is less than the specified time frame. Unless you provide a custom parameter value for the backup retention period, Security Hub uses a default value of 7 days.
