Service: awssupport · 2026-02-19 · Documentation low

File: awssupport/latest/user/security-hub-controls-with-trusted-advisor.md

Summary

Updated exclusion process documentation for Security Hub controls integrated with Trusted Advisor. Clarified that exclusions can be managed via Trusted Advisor console and API, replacing previous instructions about mandatory Security Hub CSPM usage.

Security assessment

The change documents improved resource exclusion capabilities for security checks. While it enhances security management by providing more exclusion options (console + API), there's no evidence of addressing a specific vulnerability. It adds security documentation about operational processes.
