Ensure Lambda event source mappings use filtering

Lambda event source mappings should use filtering to reduce unnecessary invocations and costs.

Security Impact

Without filtering, functions process all events, including those that should be ignored.

How to Remediate

Configure filter criteria on event source mappings to process only relevant events.

Affected Resources

AWS::Lambda::EventSourceMapping

Compliance Frameworks

SOC 2
