AWS Config now supports internal service linked rules, enabling AWS services to evaluate AWS resource configurations using AWS Config managed rules. Internal service linked rules extend the existing service linked recorder capability by allowing AWS services such as AWS Security Hub CSPM to deploy and manage rule evaluations for service specific functionality. With internal service linked rules, AWS services can use AWS Config managed rules to provide integrated security and compliance capabilities. Evaluation results are delivered directly to the AWS service that deployed the rule at no charg
The continuous evolution of cloud security and compliance requirements drives AWS to integrate and automate these capabilities more deeply within its services.
This update streamlines security and compliance for AWS users, reducing manual oversight and potentially accelerating secure cloud adoption, especially for regulated industries.
AWS services can now natively deploy and manage AWS Config rules for resource evaluations, simplifying integrated security and compliance functionalities at no additional charge to the customer.
