Amazon Inspector now provides enhanced vulnerability intelligence as a part of its findings. The enhanced vulnerability intelligence includes names of known malware kits used to exploit a vulnerability, mapping to MITRE ATT&CK® framework, the date Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) added the vulnerability to Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog (KVEC), Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS) score, and evidence of public events associated with a vulnerability. This expands the currently provided vulnerability intelligence such as Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) score and known public exploit information. Inspector collects this information from internal Amazon research, CISA, and our partner, Recorded Future. You can access the enhanced vulnerability intelligence in the finding details within in the Amazon Inspector console

AWS CloudFormation launches a new deletion policy called RetainExceptOnCreate that provides customers additional control over CloudFormation behavior when resources are deleted from stacks. Customers use deletion policies to preserve or backup resources during accidental stack deletions. Today, customers can mark resources with a deletion policy of Retain, Snapshot, or Delete. Now, customers can use RetainExceptOnCreate to protect in-use resources from accidental deletion without preserving resources that have not served traffic. This allows customers to reduce manual intervention during retries of stack operations.
