Aws Backup Retention Period
Description
Detects AWS ElastiCache replication groups with insufficient backup retention periods. ElastiCache clusters with snapshot retention periods under 7 days may not maintain adequate backup history for disaster recovery, potentially risking data loss in recovery scenarios.
Detection Strategy
• Scans all ElastiCache replication groups in the specified AWS region
• Reports a vulnerability when a replication group's SnapshotRetentionLimit is less than 7 days
• Checks the backup retention configuration of each replication group to ensure sufficient backup history is maintained
