Aws Instance Backup Retention
Description
Identifies RDS database instances that have insufficient backup retention periods (less than 7 days). Short backup retention periods increase the risk of data loss and limit the ability to recover from accidental data modifications or corruption.
Detection Strategy
• Examines all RDS database instances in the specified AWS region
• Checks the backup retention period configuration for each database instance
• Reports a vulnerability if the backup retention period is set to less than 7 days
