How Can I Prevent Untrusted Source IP Addresses from Accessing RDS?

  • After you enable public accessibility, your EIP DNS and database port may be obtained by malicious personnel. To protect your information including your EIP, DNS, database port, database account, and password, you are advised to set the range of source IP addresses in the RDS security group to ensure that only trusted source IP addresses can access your DB instances.
  • To prevent your database password from being maliciously cracked, set a strong password according to the password strength policies and periodically change it.
