Keeping track of security-related documentation changes within an AWS document isn’t always obvious, or easy to do. However, teams must stay informed to ensure they’re maintaining their organization’s security standards. While AWS provides robust logging capabilities, certain security-relevant alterations can go unnoticed. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our AWS Security Docs Change Engine, a single place for teams to stay in the loop on any and all documentation changes.
Why Tracking Changes in AWS is Challenging
AWS documentation is changing all the time. Security teams need visibility into these changes to maintain their security posture, but several factors can make this difficult:
- Most changes aren’t visible to customers, and they aren’t altered when it’s changed
- It’s hard to analyze what specifically are the implications of this change
- Even if all the data is out there, it’s hard to keep up with the velocity of changes and find the interesting ones.
Introducing: The AWS Changes Detection Engine
The AWS Docs Changes Detection Engine is a public resource that automatically pulls all AWS documentation and compares it to the last version fetched to precisely and accurately show what was updated.
To take it a step further, once it shows what was updated, it will use LLM to analyze all of the changes and provide a simple report of the potential security implications that they introduce. This equips security teams and other stakeholders with insights required to take relevant action based on the changes that impact them directly.
