Kinesis server side encryption remediation

Using Console

Using CLI

To remediate the misconfiguration of Kinesis Server-Side Encryption for Kinesis using AWS CLI, you can follow these steps:

Check the current encryption status: Run the following AWS CLI command to check the current encryption status of your Kinesis Data Stream:
```
aws kinesis describe-stream --stream-name STREAM_NAME
```
This command will return information about the specified Kinesis Data Stream, including the encryption settings.
Enable Server-Side Encryption: If the encryption is not enabled, you can enable Server-Side Encryption for the Kinesis Data Stream using the following AWS CLI command:
```
 aws kinesis start-stream-encryption \
 --stream-name YOUR_STREAM_NAME \
 --encryption-type KMS \
 --key-id alias/aws/kinesis
```
Using Customer Managed Key:
```
aws kinesis start-stream-encryption \
--stream-name YOUR_STREAM_NAME \
--encryption-type KMS \
--key-id arn:aws:kms:REGION:ACCOUNT-ID:key/KEY-ID
```
Replace YOUR_STREAM_NAME with the actual name of your Kinesis Data Stream. This command will enable Server-Side Encryption for the specified Kinesis Data Stream.
Verify Encryption: After enabling Server-Side Encryption, you can verify the encryption status by running the describe-table command again:
```
aws kinesis describe-stream --stream-name STREAM_NAME
```
Ensure that the SSEDescription section in the output confirms that Server-Side Encryption is enabled for the Kinesis Data Stream.

By following these steps and using the AWS CLI commands provided, you can remediate the misconfiguration of Kinesis Server-Side Encryption for Kinesis.

Using Python

To remediate the misconfiguration of not having Kinesis Server Side Encryption enabled for Kinesis using Python, follow these steps:

Import the necessary Python libraries:

import boto3

Initialize the Kinesis client:

kinesis_client = boto3.client('kinesis')

Enable server-side encryption for the Kinesis Data Stream using the start_stream_encryption method:

stream_name = 'YOUR_STREAM_NAME'

response = kinesis_client.start_stream_encryption(
    StreamName=stream_name,
    EncryptionType='KMS',
    KeyId=key_id
)

Replace 'YOUR_STREAM_NAME' with the actual name of your Kinesis Data Stream.

Verify that server-side encryption with KMS is enabled for the Kinesis Data Stream:

response = kinesis_client.describe_stream(StreamName=stream_name)
encryption_type = response['StreamDescription'].get('EncryptionType', 'NONE')
key_id = response['StreamDescription'].get('KeyId', 'N/A')

print(f"Stream: {stream_name}")
print(f"Encryption Type: {encryption_type}")
print(f"Key ID: {key_id}")

Run the Python script to apply the changes and verify that server-side encryption with KMS is enabled for the Kinesis Data Stream.

By following these steps, you can remediate the misconfiguration of not having Kinesis Server Side Encryption enabled for Kinesis using Python.
