Amazon Redshift to enhance security by changing default behavior
News
The article discusses enhanced security defaults being introduced in Amazon Redshift to improve data security and reduce the risk of misconfigurations.
Specifically, the article covers:
- Public accessibility will be disabled by default for new and restored clusters, allowing connections only from the same VPC
- Database encryption will be enabled by default for new clusters using an AWS-owned key
- SSL connections will be enforced by default for new clusters and workgroups
- These changes will take effect after January 10, 2025, and users should review their configurations accordingly
- Existing data warehouses will not be impacted, but aligning with the new defaults is recommended
