Ensure that Lightsail instances are not publicly accessible

Risk

If an instance is publicly accessible, it can be accessed by anyone on the internet. This can lead to unauthorized access to the instance and its data.

Run this check with Prowler CLI

prowler aws --checks lightsail_instance_public

Run in Prowler Cloud

ARN template

arn:partition:lightsail:region:account:Instance/instance-id

Remediation

WUI

We recommend that you disable public access to the instance and use a VPN or a bastion host to access the instance securely.
