AWS App Runner now supports AWS web application firewall (WAF). AWS WAF gives you control over what traffic reaches your web applications or APIs depending upon your security and business needs. App Runner makes it easier for developers to quickly deploy containerized web applications and APIs to the cloud, at scale, and without managing infrastructure. Now, you can strengthen the security posture of your web applications against web exploits and bots while benefiting from the simplicity and scalability offered by App Runner. You can place a security layer in form of WAF web access control lists (web ACLs) in front of your App Runner service endpoint to allow, block, or monitor web requests to your applications on the basis of predefined rules such as IP addresses, HTTP headers, HTTP body, URI strings, SQL injection, and cross-site scripting.

Serverless application developers can now define multiple destinations when integrating AWS services with AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) connectors. Previously, SAM customers needed to create a SAM connector definition for every source and destination pair. For example, if a AWS::Serverless::Function needed to interact with three SNS topics using identical permissions, three SAM connectors would need to be defined for each connection from the function to each topic. 

AWS Security Hub has released 7 new controls for its AWS Foundational Security Best Practice standard (FSBP) to enhance your cloud security posture management (CSPM). These controls conduct fully-automatic checks against security best practices for Amazon ElastiCache. If you have Security Hub set to automatically turn on new controls and are already using AWS Foundational Security Best Practices, these new controls will run without having to take any additional action.
