Aws At Rest Encryption Disabled

Description

Identifies AWS ElastiCache Redis clusters that do not have at-rest encryption enabled. Unencrypted Redis clusters could expose sensitive data to unauthorized access if the underlying storage is compromised.

Weakness:

165 - Insecure service configuration - AWS

Category: Functionality Abuse

Detection Strategy

    • Redis cluster is using the Redis engine type

    • The AtRestEncryptionEnabled setting is set to false or is not configured

    • Examines all ElastiCache clusters in the specified AWS region
