Detects AWS DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) clusters that are running without encryption at rest enabled. Unencrypted DAX clusters can expose sensitive cached data to unauthorized access if the underlying storage is compromised. This violates security best practices for protecting data at rest.

Weakness:
