Symptom
The user has identified that two CSPM alert policies are generating false positive alerts reporting several instances where AWS resource is exposed to the Internet:
-
"Instances exposed to network traffic from the internet"
-
”AWS EC2 instance that is internet reachable with unrestricted access (0.0.0.0/0)”
When investigating those alerts from "Instances exposed to network traffic from the internet" No public ip attached or either the instance was in stopped state.
Environment

- Cloud Accounts
Cause
- The alerts are legitimate as the customer had allowed those public IPs in Security group.
Resolution
