enable-dnssec

Explanation

DNSSEC authenticates DNS responses, preventing MITM attacks and impersonation.

Possible Impact

Unverified DNS responses could lead to man-in-the-middle attacks

Suggested Resolution

Enable DNSSEC

Insecure Example

The following example will fail the google-dns-enable-dnssec check.

resource "google_dns_managed_zone" "bad_example" {
  name        = "example-zone"
  dns_name    = "example-${random_id.rnd.hex}.com."
  description = "Example DNS zone"
  labels = {
    foo = "bar"
  }
  dnssec_config {
    state = "off"
  }
}

resource "random_id" "rnd" {
  byte_length = 4
}

Secure Example

The following example will pass the google-dns-enable-dnssec check.

resource "google_dns_managed_zone" "good_example" {
  name        = "example-zone"
  dns_name    = "example-${random_id.rnd.hex}.com."
  description = "Example DNS zone"
  labels = {
    foo = "bar"
  }
  dnssec_config {
    state = "on"
  }
}

resource "random_id" "rnd" {
  byte_length = 4
}
