AWS Cloud Security: Data Security Overview report documentation
Evaluate your AWS RDS security posture.
About this report
Uncover hidden database vulnerabilities with a focused assessment of your AWS RDS security posture. Your team will spot risky database configurations before attackers can exploit them, including public accessibility issues and encryption gaps.
Key questions
- Which RDS instances are publicly accessible and at risk of attack?
- How many of my databases are unencrypted and vulnerable to data theft?
- Are my RDS instances properly backed up for disaster recovery?
- How are my database instances distributed across availability zones?
Visualizations in the report
Count of RDS Instances by Availability Zone
Maps your database distribution across AWS regions. This visualization helps you evaluate regional resilience and ensure proper geographic redundancy for critical data services.
Publicly Accessible RDS Instances
Flags database servers that can be reached from the public internet. Immediately see which databases have potentially dangerous network exposure that could lead to breach attempts.
Unencrypted Instances
Identifies RDS instances running without data encryption. Helps you prioritize which databases need security improvements to protect sensitive information.
RDS Instances Lacking Automated Backup
Shows which databases don't have proper backup configurations. Quickly spot recovery gaps that could lead to permanent data loss during an incident.
