Summary

Updated AWS region availability for VPC security group port restriction check, removing China (Beijing) and Asia Pacific (Malaysia) from excluded regions

Security assessment

The change updates the list of regions where a security check is available, expanding coverage to two additional regions. This is a service availability update rather than addressing a specific security vulnerability. The security check itself remains the same, just available in more regions.
