Ensure ELB uses approved SSL certificates
Load balancers should use SSL certificates from AWS Certificate Manager or trusted certificate authorities.
Security Impact
Self-signed or expired certificates cause browser warnings and may not be trusted by clients.
How to Remediate
Use ACM certificates for HTTPS listeners. Ensure certificates are not expired and cover all required domains.
