Kingdom: Security Features

Software security is not security software. Here we're concerned with topics like authentication, access control, confidentiality, cryptography, and privilege management.

AWS Ansible Misconfiguration: Insecure EFS Storage

Abstract
An Ansible task defines an Amazon EFS file system without data at rest encryption.
Explanation
By default, an EFS file system is not encrypted. This exposes the data to unauthorized access and potential theft.

Example 1: The following Ansible task sets up an EFS file system without data at rest encryption because the encrypt parameter is set to no.

- name: EFS provisioning
  community.aws.efs:
    state: present
    name: myTestEFS
    encrypt: no
    targets:
      - subnet_id: subnet-12345678
        security_groups: [ "sg-87654321" ]
