  impact: |
    Misconfigured encryption providers can lead to unsecured data at rest, potentially exposing sensitive information to unauthorized access.
  remediation: |
    Ensure that the encryption provider configuration file is set up correctly and referenced properly in the API server configuration. Encryption should be enabled and configured according to the security best practices.
