Security assessment

The change only fixes broken URLs; it does not alter security guidance, address vulnerabilities, or introduce new security content.

Evidence

+With named shadows, you can create different views of a thing object’s state. For example, you could divide a thing object with many properties into shadows with logical groups of properties, each identified by its shadow name. You could also limit access to properties by grouping them into different shadows and using policies to control access. For more information about policies to use with device shadows, see [Actions, resources, and condition keys for AWS IoT](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/service-authorization/latest/reference/list_awsiot.html) and [AWS IoT Core policies](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/iot/latest/developerguide/iot-policies.html).
