AWS securityhub: Remove EKS.3 reference from NIST 800-53 standards list

Service: securityhub · 2026-10-10 · Documentation low

File: securityhub/latest/userguide/standards-reference-nist-800-53.md · Type: encryption

Summary

Deleted the bullet referencing EKS.3 (EKS clusters should use encrypted Kubernetes secrets) from the NIST SP 800-53 Revision 5 supporting-controls list.

Security assessment

Only a cross-reference bullet to an encryption control is dropped from a compliance standards listing; there is no indication of a vulnerability, CVE, or remediation being applied, making this low-impact documentation maintenance.

Evidence

-  * [[EKS.3] EKS clusters should use encrypted Kubernetes secrets](./eks-controls.html#eks-3)
