AWS Trusted Advisor check statuses are assessed to identify items in warning or error. The finding reflects the state reported by Trusted Advisor across categories such as Security, Fault Tolerance, Service Limits, and Cost, indicating where configurations or quotas require attention.
Risk
Unaddressed warnings/errors can leave misconfigurations that impact CIA:
- Confidentiality: public access or weak auth exposes data
- Integrity: overly permissive settings allow unwanted changes
- Availability: limit exhaustion or poor resilience triggers outages They can also increase unnecessary cost.
Run this check with Prowler CLI
prowler aws --checks trustedadvisor_errors_and_warnings
