Last Update vor 2 Monaten

Description: Checks if an AWS WAF Classic rule group contains any rules. The rule is NON_COMPLIANT if there are no rules present within a rule group.


Trigger type: Configurational Changes


AWS Region: Only available in US East (N. Virginia) Region


How to Resolve Manually

This rule evaluates if a WAF Global Rule Group includes rules. It's marked as compliant if the global rule  group has at least one rule, and non-compliant if it doesn't.


You can resolve this by deleting the rule group if it's not being used or add a rule to it.


To add conditions, head on over to the WAF & Shield service and then click on Switch to AWS WAF Classic from the left menu.

Click on Rule groups and in the filter dropdown menu choose Global (CloudFront) region. From the list, click on the name of the rule group that is not compliant and finally click on the Edit rule group button to add rules to it.
