AWS expanded support for Resource Control Policies (RCPs), allowing organizations to centrally enforce maximum permission boundaries on Amazon DynamoDB resources. This facilitates building security perimeters that restrict access to DynamoDB only to approved organizational entities.

RCPs help enforce baseline security standards across AWS environments by preventing external identity access to DynamoDB tables. The feature is available across all commercial and GovCloud AWS regions, aiding compliance and consistent policy management at scale.
