Neptune DB Clusters Do Not Have Automatic Backups Enabled

Overview

This check verifies if a Neptune DB cluster has active automated backups and if the backup retention period meets or exceeds the specified timeframe. The control result is deemed unsuccessful if the Neptune DB cluster lacks backup enablement or if the retention period falls short of the specified timeframe. In the absence of a custom parameter for the backup retention period, Security Hub applies a default value of 7 days.

Automated backups play a pivotal role in expediting recovery from security incidents and fortifying system resilience. By automating the backup process for your Neptune DB clusters, you gain the capability to restore systems to specific points in time, mitigating downtime and minimizing data loss.
