AWS whitepapers documentation change
Summary
Removed entire documentation page about backup/snapshot procedures for security incident recovery
Security assessment
Deletion of documentation about backup security practices doesn't indicate a specific security vulnerability being addressed. Removal eliminates guidance on ransomware protection and recovery procedures but lacks evidence of patching an exploit.

With backups in place, you can restore your systems to their previous safe state. On AWS, you can take snapshots of various resources. Snapshots provide you with point-in-time backups of those resources. There are many AWS services that can support you in backup and recovery. Refer to the [Backup and Recovery Prescriptive Guidance](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/prescriptive-guidance/latest/backup-recovery/services.html) for details on these services and approaches for backup and recovery. For more details, see the [Use backups to recover from security incidents](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/use-backups-to-recover-from-security-incidents/) blog post. - -Especially when it comes to situations such as ransomware, it’s critical for your backups to be well protected. Refer to the [Top 10 security best practices for securing backups in AWS](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/top-10-security-best-practices-for-securing-backups-in-aws/) blog post for guidance on securing your backups. In addition to securing your backups, you should regularly test your backup and restore processes to verify that the technology and processes you have in place work as expected. - - **Javascript is disabled or is unavailable in your browser.** - -To use the Amazon Web Services Documentation, Javascript must be enabled.
