What CGPulse checks
A resource passes this rule when encryptionAtRestEnabled must equal true. Anything else is reported as a finding with the evaluated property value attached as evidence.
How to fix it
Enable encryption at rest to protect stored data from media compromise. In AWS Console: OpenSearch > Domains > select domain > Edit > enable Encryption at rest. See: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/opensearch-service/latest/developerguide/encryption-at-rest.html
Terraform
resource "aws_opensearch_domain" "{name}" {
encrypt_at_rest {
enabled = true
}
}
