Identifies AWS ElastiCache replication groups that have automatic backups disabled (snapshot retention set to 0). Without automated backups, there is a risk of permanent data loss in case of system failures or disasters, violating data protection and disaster recovery best practices.
Detection Strategy
• Examines each ElastiCache replication group in the AWS account
• Reports a vulnerability when a replication group's SnapshotRetentionLimit is set to 0
• The vulnerability includes the replication group's ARN and the snapshot retention limit value
