Noteworthy Updates To Services
Let's take a look at some of the announcements that caught my eye!
1. AWS Secrets Manager
AWS Secrets Manager now supports user credential rotation for Amazon Redshift Serverless. Now you can easily create and rotate user credentials and API keys throughout their lifecycle.
These new integrations bring the total count of the AWS Secrets Manager supported services to more than 50!
2. Amazon GuardDuty
Amazon GuardDuty now lets customers monitor and gain visibility into the on-host, operating system–level activities and provides container-level context of detected threats.
This enhances the existing capabilities of GuardDuty which can help detect abnormal and suspicious activities within your AWS accounts and workloads.
Wrapping Up
There have been some major strides taken by the team at AWS to enhance and stay on top of the security game and I can't wait for what is in store for us in the future.
Within this article, I've highlighted some of the major service announcements and feature introductions that were noteworthy. There may have been some announcements that I didn't cover in this month's announcement, therefore feel free to mention what you think was important in the comment section.
