Aws Cluster Backup Retention
Description
Detects AWS RDS clusters with insufficient backup retention periods that could lead to data loss. RDS clusters should maintain backups for at least 7 days to ensure adequate disaster recovery capabilities and protect against data corruption or accidental deletion.
Detection Strategy
• Scans all RDS clusters in the specified AWS region
• Checks if the BackupRetentionPeriod configuration is less than 7 days
• Reports a vulnerability if any cluster's backup retention period is insufficient
• Each vulnerability includes the cluster ARN and actual retention period value
