Backup Plan for DynamoDB Tables (NIST 800-53 Revision 5)
Rule Description
Under NIST 800-53 Revision 5, it is recommended to have a backup plan in place for DynamoDB tables. This ensures data availability and protection in case of accidental deletion, corruption, or other unforeseen events. By implementing a backup plan, you can mitigate the risk of data loss and maintain the integrity of your DynamoDB tables.
