03 - Redshift Enable Audit Logging

Ensure your Redshift clusters have automatic upgrades enabled

Ensure that your Redshift clusters have automated upgrades enabled to ensure your cluster has the latest bug fixes and security patches. Having this enabled is considered a security best practice and should always be done. Ensuring this is enabled will help with NIST and HIPPA compliance.

Audit & Remediation

Login into your AWS account
Navigate to the Redshift service at: https://console.aws.amazon.com/redshiftv2
On the left hand panel select Clusters.

Select the Cluster hyperlink for the database cluster you would like to check.
Under Maintenance and monitoring scroll down to Audit logging and look under Audit logging to see if this is set to Disabled.
If Audit logging is currently set to Disabled then select the Edit button.

At the Configure audit logging window, select Yes under Enable audit logging and choose an S3 bucket where to send logs to.
Select the confirm button.

Repeat the outlined steps for each redshift cluster you have.
