Control: DAX clusters endpoint encryption should have TLS enabled

Description

This control checks whether a DAX cluster endpoint encryption has TLS enabled. TLS encrypts the connection between the application and the DAX cluster. Encrypting data in transit protects it from being intercepted by a user not authenticated to AWS. The encryption adds another set of access controls to limit the ability of unauthorized users to access to the data. For example, API permissions are required to decrypt the data before it can be read.

Usage

Run the control in your terminal:

powerpipe control run terraform_aws_compliance.control.dax_cluster_endpoint_encryption_tls_enabled

Snapshot and share results via Turbot Pipes:

powerpipe login
powerpipe control run terraform_aws_compliance.control.dax_cluster_endpoint_encryption_tls_enabled --share

SQL

This control uses a named query:

select
  address as resource,
  case
    when (attributes_std ->> 'cluster_endpoint_encryption_type') = 'TLS' then 'ok'
    else 'alarm'
  end status,
  split_part(address, '.', 2) || case
    when (attributes_std ->> 'cluster_endpoint_encryption_type') = 'TLS' then ' endpoint encryption tls enabled'
    else ' endpoint encryption tls disabled'
  end || '.' as reason
  
  , path || ':' || start_line
from
  terraform_resource
where
  type = 'aws_dax_cluster';
