Ensure NLB TLS listeners use certificates
Network Load Balancer TLS listeners should use SSL/TLS certificates for encrypted communication.
Security Impact
TCP listeners without TLS expose traffic in plaintext between clients and the load balancer.
How to Remediate
Configure TLS listeners on NLB with ACM certificates. Use TCP listeners only for protocols that handle their own encryption.
