Summary

Updated GuardDuty security agent installation instructions from version 1.9.1 to 1.9.2, including updated S3 paths for RPM/DEB packages, signatures, and public keys

Security assessment

This is a routine version update for the GuardDuty security agent. The changes update references from version 1.9.1 to 1.9.2 in installation commands and S3 paths. While GuardDuty is a security service, this specific change shows no evidence of addressing a specific security vulnerability or incident - it appears to be a standard version bump for compatibility and feature updates.
