Description

Unencrypted SQS queues may expose sensitive data to unauthorized parties. Enabling encryption at rest protects data by making it unreadable without the proper decryption key. This reduces the risk of data breaches and complies with data protection regulations.

How to fix?

Set the sqs_managed_sse_enabled attribute to true.

Example Configuration

resource "aws_sqs_queue" "allowed" {
  name                    = "allowed"
  sqs_managed_sse_enabled = true
}
