GuardDuty Lambda Protection should be enabled

Checks that GuardDuty Lambda Protection is enabled on this Region's detector, so GuardDuty monitors the network activity of every Lambda function invoked here, VPC-connected or not, for signs of malicious code. It also fails while GuardDuty is suspended in the Region. In an AWS Organization, only the GuardDuty delegated administrator can change this for a member account.

How to fix it

In the console

GuardDuty → Protection plans → Lambda Protection

Lambda Protection
Enable; no VPC flow logs need to be turned on for the functions

With the AWS CLI

aws guardduty update-detector --detector-id <detector-id> --region <region> --features '[{"Name":"LAMBDA_NETWORK_LOGS","Status":"ENABLED"}]'

With Terraform

resource "aws_guardduty_detector_feature" "this" {
  detector_id = aws_guardduty_detector.this.id
  name        = "LAMBDA_NETWORK_LOGS"
  status      = "ENABLED"
}
