AWS Resource Control Policies Updates

AWS Resource Control Policies (RCPs) now support Amazon Cognito and Amazon CloudWatch Logs. RCPs are organization policies that centralize control over resource permissions, helping to enforce security standards and build a data perimeter.

What to do

  • Create policies to manage access to Amazon Cognito and CloudWatch Logs resources.
  • Prevent unauthorized identities from accessing these resources.
  • Enforce baseline security standards across your AWS environment.

RCPs are available in all AWS commercial Regions and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. For more information, visit the Resource control policies (RCPs) documentation.
