Aws Ebs Encryption Disabled

Description

Detects AWS EBS volumes that are not using encryption at rest. Unencrypted EBS volumes pose a security risk as sensitive data stored on these volumes could be exposed if the physical storage is compromised or improperly decommissioned.

Weakness:

020 - Non-encrypted confidential information

Category: Information Collection

Detection Strategy

    • Scans all EBS volumes in the specified AWS region

    • Checks the 'Encrypted' attribute of each EBS volume

    • Reports a vulnerability if an EBS volume has encryption disabled (Encrypted=False)
