Application Load Balancer Is Internet Facing

Overview

An Application Load Balancer (ALB) is responsible for distributing incoming web traffic across multiple targets, such as EC2 instances, to ensure optimal performance. This check verifies if the ALB is internet-facing, which could expose it to a wider range of threats.

If the ALB is internet-facing, it could be more susceptible to attacks. Ensuring your ALB is not internet-facing can enhance security, compliance, and resilience against potential malicious activities.
