AWS securityhub medium security documentation change

Service: securityhub · 2026-03-10 · Security-related medium

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

Summary

Removed AppSync.1 and AppSync.6 controls from the reference list.

Security assessment

The removal reflects that these controls are obsolete due to AWS AppSync's security improvements (default encryption), making them unnecessary for compliance checks.
