ELASTICSEARCH_ENCRYPTED_AT_REST
Fernando Honig
Last Update 2 months ago
Description: Checks if Amazon Elasticsearch Service (Amazon ES) domains have encryption at rest configuration enabled. The rule is NON_COMPLIANT if the EncryptionAtRestOptions field is not enabled.
Trigger type: Periodic
AWS Region: All supported AWS regions except Asia Pacific (Jakarta), Asia Pacific (Hyderabad), Asia Pacific (Osaka), Asia Pacific (Melbourne), Israel (Tel Aviv), Canada West (Calgary), Europe (Spain), Europe (Zurich) Region
How to Resolve Manually
To resolve this manually, you will need to ensure that the Enable encryption of data at rest is enabled within the configuration of an Elastisearch domain.
Encryption at rest secures the indices and automated snapshots associated with the domain.
You are also able to define your chosen KMS master key for the encryption, and are presented with the choice between the Default AWS/ES key and a CMK you already have stored in your vault.
