What CGPulse checks
A resource passes this rule when sseEnabled must equal true. Anything else is reported as a finding with the evaluated property value attached as evidence.
How to fix it
Enable server-side encryption to protect data at rest from storage compromise. In AWS Console: DynamoDB > Tables > select table > Additional settings > Encryption. See: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/EncryptionAtRest.html
Terraform
resource "aws_dynamodb_table" "{name}" {
server_side_encryption {
enabled = true
}
}
