AWS Security Hub has released 7 new controls for its AWS Foundational Security Best Practice standard (FSBP) to enhance your cloud security posture management (CSPM). These controls conduct fully-automatic checks against security best practices for Amazon ElastiCache. If you have Security Hub set to automatically turn on new controls and are already using AWS Foundational Security Best Practices, these new controls will run without having to take any additional action.
With this release, Security Hub now supports 244 security controls to automatically check your security posture in AWS.
The new controls that we launched are:
- [ElastiCache.1] ElastiCache Redis clusters should have automatic backup enabled
- [ElastiCache.2] ElastiCache for Redis cache clusters should have auto minor version upgrades enabled
- [ElastiCache.3] ElastiCache replication groups should have automatic failover enabled
- [ElastiCache.4] ElastiCache replication groups should have encryption-at-rest enabled
- [ElastiCache.5] ElastiCache replication groups should have encryption-in-transit enabled
- [ElastiCache.6] ElastiCache replication groups of earlier Redis versions should have Redis AUTH enabled
- [ElastiCache.7] ElastiCache clusters should not use the default subnet group
