Ensure ELB security groups restrict access
Load balancer security groups should restrict inbound access to required ports and source IP ranges.
Security Impact
Permissive security groups expose the load balancer to unnecessary traffic and attacks.
How to Remediate
Review and restrict ALB security group rules. Allow only required ports (80, 443) from required sources.
