In AWS, can I assign security-related email alerts to users other than the root user?

Question

In AWS, when there is a vulnerability in AWS resources, a support ticket is opened and an email alert is sent to the root user’s email address. Is it possible to configure AWS to send this email alert to other users in addition to, or instead of, the root user?

I would like to know if there is a way to assign these alerts to specific IAM users or email addresses for better management and monitoring.

Additionally, what would be the best approach to ensure that this is done securely and in a cost-effective manner?

Ex:
In Aws support I am getting this case:
Action Required: your Aws access key is exposed for Aws account. severity(urgent).
Looking forward to your guidance!

Hello.

You can set an alternative email address other than the email address associated with the root user by following the steps described in the document below.  
You can use this setting to set security contacts, etc.
