Aws Automated Backups Disabled
Description
Detects Amazon RDS database instances that have automated backups disabled. Automated backups are a critical disaster recovery feature, and disabling them puts data at risk of permanent loss in case of accidental deletion or corruption.
Detection Strategy
• Retrieves configuration details for all RDS database instances in the specified AWS region
• Checks if any RDS instance has BackupRetentionPeriod set to 0 (disabled backups)
• Reports a vulnerability for each RDS instance where automated backups are disabled
