Control: 6.1.2 Ensure Web application firewall is set to ON in IBM Cloud Internet Services (CIS)
Description
VPC access control lists filter all incoming and outgoing traffic in IBM Cloud VPC. An ACL is a built-in, virtual firewall where ACL rules control traffic to and from the subnets, rather than to and from the virtual servers. It is recommended that no ACL allows unrestricted ingress access to port 22.
Remediation
From Console

- At the Menu icon, select VPC Infrastructure-->Access Control Lists.
- For each security group, perform the following: a. Select the access control list name. b. Identify the Inbound rule to be removed. c. Using the Options icon, select Delete.
