This section includes everything that is outside of the source code but is still critical to the security of the product that is being created. Because the issues covered by this kingdom are not directly related to source code, we separated it from the rest of the kingdoms.
AWS Terraform Misconfiguration: Insufficient ElastiCache Logging
Abstract
The template defines a service with insufficient audit logging.
Explanation
A lack of audit records limits the ability to detect and respond to security-related incidents and prevents forensic investigation.
Configuration settings that undermine logging capabilities include but are not limited to:
- deliberately disabling audit logging
- exempting actions of specific users, groups, or processes from being logged
- inadequately protecting log integrity
- not enabling optional audit logging
- reducing the log sampling rate
