Applies to

What CGPulse checks

A resource passes this rule when enableDiskEncryption 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 Azure Portal: Resource > Encryption > enable encryption at rest. See: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/security/fundamentals/encryption-atrest

CLI

az kusto cluster update --ids "{id}" --enable-disk-encryption true

Terraform

resource "azurerm_kusto_cluster" "{name}" {
  name                = "{name}"
  resource_group_name = "{rg}"
  location            = var.location
  sku {
    name     = "Dev(No SLA)_Standard_E2a_v4"
    capacity = 1
  }
  disk_encryption_enabled = true
}
