## Impact

This policy pertains to Amazon Connect instances leveraging Kinesis Video Stream Storage and checks if the Customer Master Key (CMK) is used for encryption. If the CMK is not utilized, the security of the stored video streams can be compromised. CMK allows for stringent access control and monitoring, providing an additional layer of security. Without it, unauthorized individuals can gain access to the video streams, raising potential confidentiality and privacy issues.

## How to Fix

*Resource:* aws\_connect\_instance\_storage\_config

* *Arguments:* storage\_config.kinesis\_video\_stream\_config.encryption\_config.key\_id

## To fix the issue, you should make sure that the AWS Connect Instance Kinesis Video Stream Storage is configured to use a CMK (Customer Master Key) for encryption. \[source,go]

resource "aws\_connect\_instance\_storage\_config" "pass" { instance\_id = aws\_connect\_instance.pass.id resource\_type = "MEDIA\_STREAMS"

storage\_config { kinesis\_video\_stream\_config { prefix = "pass" retention\_period\_hours = 3

encryption\_config { encryption\_type = "KMS"

* key\_id = aws\_kms\_key.test.arn } } storage\_type = "KINESIS\_VIDEO\_STREAM" } }

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/appsec-rules/iac-security/storage/appsec-aws-269.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
