Control: 4 Amazon EMR security configurations should be encrypted in transit
Description
This control checks whether an Amazon EMR security configuration has encryption in transit enabled. The control fails if the security configuration doesn't enable encryption in transit.
Data in transit refers to data that moves from one location to another, such as between nodes in your cluster or between your cluster and your application. Data may move across the internet or within a private network. Encrypting data in transit reduces the risk that an unauthorized user can eavesdrop on network traffic.
Remediation
To enable encryption in transit in an Amazon EMR security configuration, see Configure data encryption in the Amazon EMR Management Guide.
Usage
Run the control in your terminal:
powerpipe control run aws_compliance.control.foundational_security_emr_4Snapshot and share results via Turbot Pipes:
powerpipe loginpowerpipe control run aws_compliance.control.foundational_security_emr_4 --shareSQL
This control uses a named query:
select name as resource, case when (encryption_configuration -> 'EnableInTransitEncryption')::bool then 'ok' else 'alarm' end as status, case when (encryption_configuration -> 'EnableInTransitEncryption')::bool then title || ' encryption in transit enabled.' else title || ' encryption in transit disabled.' end as reason , region, account_idfrom aws_emr_security_configuration;
