💼 [EC2.19] Security groups should not allow unrestricted access to ports with high risk

  • ID: /frameworks/aws-fsbp-v1.0.0/ec2/19

Description

Security groups provide stateful filtering of ingress and egress network traffic to AWS resources. Unrestricted access (0.0.0.0/0) increases opportunities for malicious activity, such as hacking, denial-of-service attacks, and loss of data.
