Heavy patch week if you ship IoT on FreeRTOS or run Windows containers: five FreeRTOS CVEs across three bulletins, an ECS Agent command injection to SYSTEM, a WorkSpaces local-privilege escalation. AWS CIRT publishes the March 2026 attacker-technique catalog with three notable new entries. Audit Manager officially closes to new customers. The What's Next with AWS 2026 event lands with the OpenAI partnership.
Eight new AWS security bulletins this week, led by a code injection in the deprecated Bedrock AgentCore Starter Toolkit and a now-fixed Athena engine version 3 authorization gap that could have exposed query metadata across accounts. On the defensive side, GuardDuty RDS Protection now watches database query activity for exfiltration and destruction, and IAM Identity Center can restrict where Identity Store and SCIM API calls come from.
Our AWS security experts can help you implement best practices across all these topics.
