Best Practices for Security Groups

• Regularly review and update your Security Group rules to ensure they meet your security requirements.
• Use descriptive names and descriptions for your Security Groups and rules to make management easier.
• Limit access to only necessary IP addresses and ports to minimize potential attack vectors.
• Monitor traffic and logs to detect any unusual activity.
