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.

Azure Terraform Misconfiguration: MySQL Missing Infrastructure Encryption

Abstract

An Azure service does not enable infrastructure encryption.

Explanation

Implementation flaws, misconfigurations, and compromised keys are some of the problems that prevent single-layer encryption from fully protecting highly-sensitive data. Organizations should adopt a defense-in-depth approach to protect highly-sensitive data and avoid having a single-point-of-failure in their security design.
