AWS Backup Audit Manager adds new control to audit resources inside logically air-gapped vault

Today, AWS Backup announces a new AWS Backup Audit Manager control, allowing you to audit and check if a resource's backup data is in a logically air-gapped vault. With this launch, you can assess if a backup was copied inside a logically air-gapped within a specified time frame, and evaluate whether it meets your business or compliance requirements.

To use the new AWS Backup Audit Manager control, resources are inside a logically air-gapped vault**,** simply enable it in your existing AWS Backup Audit Manager frameworks or create a new framework. Once you enable this control, AWS Backup Audit Manager automatically runs it on a daily basis, monitoring if a backup was successfully copied inside your logically air-gapped vault based on the specified time frame for your selected resources. You can also generate auditor-ready reports to help prove compliance of your data protection policies to organizational or industry-specific regulatory requirements.
