Control: 7 CloudFront distributions should use custom SSL/TLS certificates

Description

This control checks whether CloudFront distributions are using the default SSL/TLS certificate CloudFront provides. This control passes if the CloudFront distribution uses a custom SSL/TLS certificate. This control fails if the CloudFront distribution uses the default SSL/TLS certificate.

Custom SSL/TLS allow your users to access content by using alternate domain names. You can store custom certificates in AWS Certificate Manager (recommended), or in IAM.

Remediation

To add an alternate domain name using a custom SSL/TLS certificate for your CloudFront distributions, see Adding an alternate domain name in the CloudFront Developer Guide.

powerpipe control run aws_compliance.control.foundational_security_cloudfront_7

Snapshot and share results via Turbot Pipes:

powerpipe login

cloudfront_distribution_use_custom_ssl_certificate
