Ensure VPN tunnels are in UP state

VPN tunnels should be in UP state with both tunnels active for redundancy. Monitor tunnel status for connectivity issues.

Security Impact

Single tunnel connectivity creates a single point of failure for VPN traffic.

How to Remediate

Configure on-premises VPN devices to establish both tunnels. Set up CloudWatch alarms for VPN tunnel state changes.
