Ensure expired SSL/TLS certificates are removed from IAM

Expired SSL/TLS certificates stored in IAM should be removed. They cannot be used for their intended purpose and their presence may cause confusion.

Security Impact

Expired certificates indicate poor security hygiene and may cause service disruptions if referenced.

How to Remediate

Delete expired SSL/TLS certificates from IAM. Upload new valid certificates if the service still requires them.
