What happened in AWS CloudSecurity last week December 10 - December 17, 2024?

• WS IAM Roles Anywhere has released version 1.4.0 of its credential helper, which now includes native support for Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0. This update allows the credential helper to directly access X.509 certificates and their corresponding private keys stored in TPMs on both Windows and Linux systems. The keys remain securely stored within the TPM hardware.
• AWS Security Hub now offers automated security checks that are aligned with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) v4.0.1, a compliance framework that outlines rules and guidelines for the secure handling of credit and debit card information. v4.0.1 includes 144 automated controls.
