Ensure Kinesis Data Streams have encryption at rest enabled
Kinesis streams should encrypt data at rest using AWS KMS to protect streaming data from unauthorized access.
Security Impact
Unencrypted stream data is vulnerable if AWS storage infrastructure is compromised.
How to Remediate
Enable server-side encryption on Kinesis streams using KMS customer managed keys for better access control.
