id: cache-automatic-backups-disabled info: name: ElastiCache Automatic Backups - Disabled author: DhiyaneshDK severity: medium description: | Ensure that Amazon ElastiCache is configured to take automatic daily backups for Redis cache clusters. impact: | Disabling ElastiCache automatic backups increases the risk of data loss, as you won't have point-in-time recovery options in case of data corruption or accidental deletion. remediation: | enable automatic backups in the AWS Management Console for your ElastiCache Redis or Memcached cluster to ensure regular snapshots for data recovery. reference: - https://www.trendmicro.com/cloudoneconformity-staging/knowledge-base/aws/ElastiCache/enable-automatic-backups.html - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonElastiCache/latest/red-ug/backups-automatic.html tags: cloud,devops,aws,amazon,elasticache,aws-cloud-config variables: region: "us-west-2" flow: | code(1) for(let ReplicationGroupId of iterate(template.replicationgroupids)){ set("replicationgroup", ReplicationGroupId) code(2) } self-contained: true code: - engine: - sh - bash source: | aws elasticache describe-replication-groups --region $region --output json --query 'ReplicationGroups[*].ReplicationGroupId' extractors: - type: json name: replicationgroupids internal: true json: - '.[]' - engine: - sh - bash source: | aws elasticache describe-replication-groups --replication-group-id $replicationgroup --query 'ReplicationGroups[*].SnapshotRetentionLimit' --region $region --output json matchers: - type: word words: - '0' extractors: - type: dsl dsl: - 'replicationgroup + " ElastiCache Automatic Backups is Disabled"' # digest: 4a0a004730450221008465cb9d9adcf0af92d01705b4b1b96bb99e2d102c68031c3859cb59ba888f2602204d39d2985713c96993171906ce192e6266837bab101439560d3da3bc0f3a39ab:922c64590222798bb761d5b6d8e72950
