Checks whether the whitelist of each listener of each Server Load Balancer (SLB) instance allows access from a specified IP address or Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) block. If not, the evaluation result is Compliant.
Scenarios
This rule applies when you need to add IP addresses or CIDR blocks to the whitelist of a listener of an SLB instance. This helps reduce network exposure and ensures the network security of cloud environments.
Risk level
Default risk level: high.
When you apply this rule, you can change the risk level based on your business requirements.
Compliance evaluation logic
- If the whitelist of a listener of an SLB instance allows access from a specified IP address or CIDR block, the evaluation result is Compliant.
- If no whitelists of the listeners of each SLB instance allow access from a specified IP address or CIDR block, the evaluation result is Incompliant. For more information about how to remediate an incompliant configuration, see Incompliance remediation.
