Control: Ensure domains have a CAA record configured to whitelist a CA for issuing certificates
Description
The CAA record is a type of DNS record used to provide additional confirmation for the Certification Authority (CA) when validating an SSL certificate. With CAA in place, the attack surface for fraudulent certificates is reduced, effectively making sites more secure.
Usage
Run the control in your terminal:
steampipe check net_insights.control.ssl_certificate_caa_record_configured
Snapshot and share results via Steampipe Cloud:
steampipe loginsteampipe check --share net_insights.control.ssl_certificate_caa_record_configured
