(2022.0.0) Configure AWS Security Group for Cyclone ENTERPRISE

An AWS Security Group is a firewall for your EC2 instance to control inbound and outbound traffic

1. Create a new security group named "secgroupcyent"

   Note: Continuing in the command prompt, enter the following.
   Note: It is highly recommended to copy and paste the the commands into a text editing program, e.g., Notepad ++, to review the code (e.g., remove empty lines) before entering in the command line.
   Note: The placeholders in the code that are tagged by "<>" should be revised to match your information such as IP address, AMI ID, Instance ID, etc.

   aws ec2 create-security-group --group-name secgroupcyent  --description security-group-for-Cyclone-Enterprise

   

2. Create rules that control incoming traffic to your EC2 instance. By default, only three ports are open for inbound traffic: 3389 (remote desktop), 443 (https), and 80 (http).

   Note: The placeholders in the code that are tagged by "<>" should be revised to match your information such as IP address, AMI ID, Instance ID, etc.

   aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress --group-name secgroupcyent --protocol tcp --port 3389 --cidr <your IP address>/32 

   aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress --group-name secgroupcyent --protocol tcp --port 443 --cidr 0.0.0.0/0    

   aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress --group-name secgroupcyent --protocol tcp --port 80 --cidr 0.0.0.0/0

   

3. Optionally, create a rule that allows inbound traffic on Cyclone ENTERPRISE’s default port 5050.

aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress --group-name secgroupcyent --protocol tcp --port 5050 --cidr 0.0.0.0/0
