Description

Secure your Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) messages with server-side encryption.

Rationale

Encryption ensures that Amazon SQS messages, which may contain sensitive data, are not available to anonymous or unauthorized users.

Remediation

From the console

Follow the Configuring service-side encryption for a queue(console) docs to learn how to create and use AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) to manage customer master keys (CMK) for server-side encryption.

From the command line

1. Define set-queue-attributes in a file. Use your custom KMS Master Key ARN for KmsMasterKeyID. Save the file.

   {
     "KmsMasterKeyId": "custom_key_arn",
     "KmsDataKeyReusePeriodSeconds": "300"
   }
   

2. Run set-queue-attributes with the queue URL and the file created in step 1.

   aws sqs set-queue-attributes
     --queue-url https://us-west-2.queue.amazonaws.com/<insert-account-id>/<insert-sqs-queue-name>
     --attributes file://sqs-sse-enabled.json
