Ensure Kinesis Data Firehose delivery streams encrypt data at rest
Firehose should encrypt data at rest in S3, Redshift, or other destinations to maintain end-to-end encryption.
Security Impact
Unencrypted destination data undermines stream encryption and exposes data at rest.
How to Remediate
Enable S3 encryption in Firehose delivery stream configuration. Use KMS keys for encryption.
