Description#
The DynamoDB table is not configured with point-in-time recovery, leaving it unprotected against accidental or malicious data modifications or deletions. Without this setting, data cannot be restored to a previous state if lost or corrupted.
Impact#
If the table experiences unintended writes or deletions, the data loss is permanent and cannot be rolled back, increasing the risk of business disruption, data integrity issues, and potential non-compliance with backup or recovery requirements.
Resolution#
Enable point in time recovery
