Ensure ALB redirects HTTP to HTTPS
Application Load Balancers should redirect HTTP traffic to HTTPS to enforce encryption in transit.
Security Impact
HTTP traffic is unencrypted and can be intercepted by man-in-the-middle attacks.
How to Remediate
Configure HTTP listener with a redirect action to HTTPS. Remove any forwarding rules on HTTP listener.
