AWS workspaces high security documentation change
Summary
Added release notes for January 26, 2026 update including new features: Advanced Printing, screen capture protection, performance counters, and Firefox WebAuthn support
Security assessment
The change explicitly adds 'screen capture protection' to prevent data exfiltration by blocking client-side capture tools, and includes Enhanced WebAuthn support which improves authentication security. Both features address security weaknesses (data leakage and authentication vulnerabilities) with concrete protective measures.
