You can now configure your AWS Client VPN endpoint to use either the port 443 or the port 1194, with support for both TCP and UDP transmissions. New and existing endpoints are defaulted to use the port 443. However, you can now modify these endpoints to use the port 1194. If you cannot use the port 443, such as for security reasons, using the port 1194 gives you more flexibility. 

AWS Glue now supports three new transforms – Purge, Transition, Merge – that can help you extend your extract, transform, and load (ETL) logic in Apache Spark applications. You can use the Purge transform to remove files, partitions or tables, and quickly refine your datasets on S3.

AWS Security Hub now allows you to disable specific compliance controls, if they are not relevant for you. For example, if the control 2.3 from the CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark (“Ensure that the S3 bucket used to store CloudTrail logs is not publicly accessible”) is not relevant in a particular account or region because you have a centralized logging bucket set up in another account or region, you can disable that control either via the Security Hub console or via the API. Disabled controls are not counted against your compliance readiness score for that standard, and they have a mandatory field to explain why the control has been disabled. Disablement actions are logged to AWS CloudTrail. Security Hub’s documentation provides specific examples of controls that you may want to disable depending on your account setup.  

AWS Security Hub has added 4 new external partner integrations bringing its total 47 integrations, including 41 external partner integrations and 6 AWS service integrations. AWS Security Hub now supports integrations with IBM QRadar (a Security Information and Event Management or SIEM platform), Slack (a chat and instant messaging product), ServiceNow ITSM (a ticketing system), and ServiceNow SecOps (a Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response or SOAR system). Each of these integrations helps Security Hub customers take action on findings and provides a simple way to send findings from Security Hub to the partner’s product. Setting up the integration only requires deployment of a AWS CloudFormation template. The IBM QRadar integration with AWS Security Hub also supports sending findings from QRadar to Security Hub. To learn more, visit the Integration pages in the Security Hub console and click on the “Configuration” link for the partner to learn more about the integration and how to set it up.
