AWS whitepapers documentation change

Service: whitepapers · 2026-06-19 · Documentation low

File: whitepapers/latest/aws-security-incident-response-guide/understand-threat-landscape.md

Summary

Removed entire content including sections on threat modeling, cyber threat intelligence, and references to AWS security services.

Security assessment

The change deletes security guidance content but shows no evidence of addressing a specific vulnerability or incident. Removal of best practice documentation may indirectly impact security posture, but isn't directly tied to a security issue.

-## Develop threat models
-
-By developing threat models, organizations can identify threats and mitigations before an unauthorized user can. There are a number of strategies and approaches to threat modeling; refer to the [How to approach threat modeling](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/how-to-approach-threat-modeling/) blog post. For incident response, a threat model can help identify the attack vectors a threat actor might have used during an incident. Understanding what you’re defending against will be crucial in order to respond in a timely manner. You can also use an AWS Partner for threat modeling. To search for an AWS partner, use the [AWS Partner Network](https://partners.amazonaws.com/). 
-
-## Integrate and use cyber threat intelligence
-
-Cyber threat intelligence is the data and analysis of a threat actor’s intent, opportunity, and capability. Obtaining and using threat intelligence is helpful to detect an incident early and to better understand threat actor behavior. Cyber threat intelligence includes static indicators like IP addresses or file hashes of malware. It also includes high-level information, like behavioral patterns and intent. You can collect threat intelligence from a number of cyber security vendors and from open-source repositories. 
-
-To integrate and maximize threat intelligence for your AWS environment, you can use some out-of-the-box capabilities and integrate your own threat intelligence lists. Amazon GuardDuty uses AWS internal and third-party threat intelligence sources. Other AWS services, such as a DNS firewall and AWS WAF rules, also take inputs from AWS' advanced threat intelligence group. Some GuardDuty findings are mapped to the [MITRE ATT&CK Framework](https://attack.mitre.org/), which provides information on real-world observations on adversary tactics and techniques.
