Description

The AWS CloudWatch Log Group resource is not configured to use a customer-managed KMS key for encryption. Relying solely on default AWS-managed keys provides less control over log data security.

Impact

Without a customer-managed KMS key, sensitive log data is at greater risk if AWS-managed keys are compromised or misused. Attackers or unauthorized users may gain access to log contents, leading to data exposure or compliance violations.
