Ensure Load Balancer Target Group is not using HTTP

Description

This policy checks whether a Load Balancer Target Group is using HTTP instead of HTTPS. Using HTTP can expose sensitive data to eavesdropping and tampering, which is a significant security risk. It is essential to use HTTPS to encrypt data in transit and ensure the confidentiality and integrity of communications. By using HTTPS, organizations can protect their data from interception and unauthorized access.

Code Example

terraform
resource "ncloud_lb_target_group" "example" {
  protocol = "HTTPS"
}

Remediation

Ensure the Load Balancer Target Group uses HTTPS by setting the protocol to 'HTTPS'.
