AWS prescriptive-guidance documentation change

Service: prescriptive-guidance · 2026-07-10 · Documentation low

File: prescriptive-guidance/latest/encryption-best-practices/general-encryption-best-practices.md

Summary

Updated breadcrumb link and modified TLS policy recommendation phrasing from 'Amazon VPC resources' to 'Amazon Virtual Private Cloud Console resources'. Changed section title 'Cryptography approach' to 'AWS approach to cryptography'.

Security assessment

Terminology clarification (VPC to VPC Console) doesn't impact security posture. Title change is editorial without modifying security guidance.
