Description

Ensure that a security alternate contact is configured for your AWS account, so that any security advisories sent by AWS reach the appropriate security team in your organization. Ideally, email contact details should point to an alias that forwards to more than one individual.

How to fix?

Configure an aws_account_alternate_contact with an alternate_contact_type set to SECURITY.

Example Configuration

resource "aws_account_alternate_contact" "security" {
  alternate_contact_type = "SECURITY"
  name                   = "Example"
  title                  = "Example"
  email_address          = "test@example.com"
  phone_number           = "+1234567890"
}
