Control: 6.2.2 Ensure the default security group of every VPC restricts all traffic
Description
VPC security groups provide stateful filtering of ingress/egress network traffic to Virtual Server. It is recommended that no security group allows unrestricted ingress access to a Virtual Server. Unless modified, the default security group allows inbound traffic from all members of the group that is, all other virtual servers that are attached to this security group.
Remediation
- Log in to IBM Cloud
- At the Menu icon, select VPC Infrastructure-->VPC Layout and Security Groups.
- For the default security group, perform the following:
- Identify the Inbound rule.
- Update the rule to only allow the required traffic flow.
