These web applications run in Amazon VPC on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). A security engineer wants to ensure that the load balancer win only accept connections over port 443. even if the ALB is mistakenly configured with an HTTP listener

Which configuration steps should the security engineer take to accomplish this task?

A.
Create a security group with a rule that denies Inbound connections from 0.0.0 0/0 on port 00. Attach this security group to the ALB to overwrite more permissive rules from the ALB's default security group.

D.
Create a security group with a single inbound rule that allows connections from 0.0.0 0/0 on port 443. Ensure this security group is the only one associated with the ALB
Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

To ensure that the load balancer only accepts connections over port 443, the security engineer should do the following:

Create a security group with a single inbound rule that allows connections from 0.0.0.0/0 on port 443. This means that the security group allows HTTPS traffic from any source IP address.

Ensure this security group is the only one associated with the ALB. This means that the security group overrides any other rules that might allow HTTP traffic on port 80.
