Aws Encryption Disabled

Description

Identifies AWS Elastic File Systems (EFS) that do not have encryption at rest enabled. Unencrypted EFS volumes could expose sensitive data to unauthorized access if the underlying storage is compromised or improperly decommissioned.

Weakness:

020 - Non-encrypted confidential information

Category: Information Collection

Detection Strategy

    • Scans all EFS file systems in the specified AWS region

    • Checks the 'Encrypted' property of each file system

    • Reports a vulnerability if a file system has encryption disabled (Encrypted=False)

    • Includes the file system ARN and encryption status in the vulnerability report
