Control: 9 Redshift clusters should not use the default database name
Description
This control checks whether an Amazon Redshift cluster has changed the database name from its default value. The control will fail if the database name for a Redshift cluster is set to dev.
When creating a Redshift cluster, you should change the default database name to a unique value. Default names are public knowledge and should be changed upon configuration. As an example, a well-known name could lead to inadvertent access if it was used in IAM policy conditions.
Remediation
You cannot change the database name for your Amazon Redshift cluster after it is created. To create a new cluster, follow the instructions here.
Usage
Run the control in your terminal:
powerpipe control run aws_compliance.control.foundational_security_redshift_9Snapshot and share results via Turbot Pipes:
powerpipe loginpowerpipe control run aws_compliance.control.foundational_security_redshift_9 --shareSQL
This control uses a named query:
redshift_cluster_no_default_database_name
