Ensure VPC flow logs are enabled
VPC Flow Logs capture information about IP traffic going to and from network interfaces in the VPC, essential for security monitoring and troubleshooting.
Security Impact
Without flow logs, network traffic analysis for security incidents or troubleshooting is not possible.
How to Remediate
Enable VPC flow logs for each VPC with log destination set to CloudWatch Logs or S3. Capture ACCEPT, REJECT, or ALL traffic as needed.
