Kinesis stream encrypted with cmk remediation

Using Console

Using CLI

To remediate the misconfiguration of a Kinesis Stream encrypted with a Customer Managed Key (CMK) for AWS DynamoDB using AWS CLI, you can follow these steps:

Identify the DynamoDB Table: First, identify the DynamoDB table that is using the Kinesis Stream encrypted with CMK.
Disable Encryption with CMK for Kinesis Stream: To remediate this misconfiguration, you will need to disable encryption with CMK for the Kinesis Stream associated with the DynamoDB table. You can achieve this by updating the Kinesis Stream settings.
Update Kinesis Stream Encryption Settings:
- Open the AWS CLI and run the following command to update the encryption settings of the Kinesis Stream associated with the DynamoDB table:
  aws kinesis update-stream --stream-name YOUR_STREAM_NAME --encryption-type NONE
  Replace YOUR_STREAM_NAME with the actual name of the Kinesis Stream associated with the DynamoDB table.
Verify Encryption Settings: Once you have updated the encryption settings for the Kinesis Stream, verify that the encryption type is set to NONE to ensure that the Kinesis Stream is no longer encrypted with a CMK.
Monitor DynamoDB Table: Monitor the DynamoDB table to ensure that there are no issues or disruptions after making this change.

By following these steps and updating the encryption settings for the Kinesis Stream associated with the DynamoDB table to use encryption type NONE, you can remediate the misconfiguration of a Kinesis Stream encrypted with a CMK for AWS DynamoDB.

Using Python

To remediate the misconfiguration of a Kinesis Stream not being encrypted with a Customer Managed Key (CMK) in AWS, we need to create a new Kinesis Stream with encryption enabled using a CMK. Here are the step-by-step instructions on how to remediate this issue for AWS DynamoDB using Python:

Import the necessary Python libraries:

import boto3

Create a new Kinesis Stream with encryption enabled:

def remediate_kinesis_stream_encryption(stream_name, cmk_arn):
    client = boto3.client('kinesis')

    response = client.create_stream(
        StreamName=stream_name,
        ShardCount=1,
        EncryptionType='KMS',
        KmsKeyId=cmk_arn
    )

    print(f"New Kinesis Stream '{stream_name}' created with encryption using CMK '{cmk_arn}'")

Replace the stream_name and cmk_arn variables with your desired values:

stream_name = 'your-kinesis-stream-name'
cmk_arn = 'your-cmk-arn'

Call the remediate_kinesis_stream_encryption function with the appropriate parameters:

remediate_kinesis_stream_encryption(stream_name, cmk_arn)

Run the Python script to create the new Kinesis Stream with encryption enabled using a CMK:

if __name__ == '__main__':
    remediate_kinesis_stream_encryption(stream_name, cmk_arn)

By following these steps and running the Python script, you can remediate the misconfiguration of a Kinesis Stream not being encrypted with a CMK in AWS DynamoDB.
