CCSS (Common Configuration Scoring System) is a set of measures used to determine the severity of the rule.
Each rule is associated with a high-level category. For example IAM, Container, Monitoring, Logging, Network, etc.

Description
API Gateway caching can mitigate the risk of high latency and potential denial of service (DoS) attacks by reducing the number of calls made to the backend services. It also helps improve the response time for end users by storing cacheable responses. Not utilizing caching features can lead to unnecessary load on the backend services, which may result in performance bottlenecks or increased latency.
How to fix?
Set the settings.caching_enabled attribute to true in the aws_api_gateway_method_settings resource.
Example Configuration
resource "aws_api_gateway_method_settings" "allow" {
rest_api_id = "abcdef123"
stage_name = "dev"
method_path = "path1/GET"
settings {
caching_enabled = true
}
}
