Control: 9 Network Firewall firewalls should have deletion protection enabled

Description

This control checks whether an AWS Network Firewall firewall has deletion protection enabled. The control fails if deletion protection isn't enabled for a firewall.

AWS Network Firewall is a stateful, managed network firewall and intrusion detection service that enables you to inspect and filter traffic to, from, or between your Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs). The deletion protection setting protects against accidental deletion of the firewall.

Remediation

To enable delete protection on an existing Network Firewall firewall, see Updating a firewall in the AWS Network Firewall Developer Guide. For Change protections, select Enable. You can also enable deletion protection by invoking the UpdateFirewallDeleteProtection API and setting the DeleteProtection field to true.

Usage

Run the control in your terminal:

powerpipe control run aws_compliance.control.foundational_security_networkfirewall_9

Snapshot and share results via Turbot Pipes:

powerpipe login
powerpipe control run aws_compliance.control.foundational_security_networkfirewall_9 --share

SQL

networkfirewall_firewall_deletion_protection_enabled
