Database

Aws Neptune Instance Logs Disabled

Description

Detects AWS Neptune database instances that have CloudWatch logging disabled. When CloudWatch logs are not enabled, there is no audit trail of database activities and potential security events, making it difficult to monitor, troubleshoot and investigate security incidents.

Weakness:

400 - Traceability Loss - AWS

Category: Functionality Abuse

Detection Strategy

    Checks each Neptune database instance in the AWS account and region

    Reports a vulnerability if the EnabledCloudwatchLogsExports setting is empty or missing

    Considers both cases where the setting is completely absent or explicitly set to an empty list as vulnerabilities
