Amazon Linux 2023 must enable FIPS mode.

Overview

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity
V-274057	AZLX-23-001280	SV-274057r1120159_rule	CCI-000068	high
Description
Use of weak or untested encryption algorithms undermines the purposes of utilizing encryption to protect data. Amazon Linux 2023 must implement cryptographic modules adhering to the higher standards approved by the federal government since this provides assurance they have been tested and validated. Satisfies: SRG-OS-000033-GPOS-00014, SRG-OS-000125-GPOS-00065, SRG-OS-000396-GPOS-00176, SRG-OS-000423-GPOS-00187, SRG-OS-000478-GPOS-00223
