About

Detects deletion, weakening, or version management of AWS Bedrock guardrails via the DeleteGuardrail, UpdateGuardrail, DeleteEnforcedGuardrailConfiguration, or PutEnforcedGuardrailConfiguration APIs. Bedrock guardrails enforce content, topic, word, and sensitive-information policies on model invocations. Deleting a guardrail, loosening its policies, removing or overwriting the organization-enforced guardrail configuration, or creating a new version to enforce a weakened configuration allows an adversary to bypass these protections — the cloud control-plane equivalent of disabling a security tool. This activity should be validated against approved change management and the responsible identity.
