[Platformone] [EXT] Platform1 SAR

[Kevin O'Donnell]

Colleen,

Thank you for the results and recommendations. We will get GIT issues
crated for your findings and will prioritize the mitigation and implement
them as code in our future IAC deployments. Many of the findings in the
current VPC have been mitigated in up-prod-b with our current code release.

Please let us know when you have finished and we can power down the host
that you have been using for scanning.

Note for everyone: Once we power down the ec2 instance ssh or port 22 will
not be externally accessible. Thus, mitigating many of the risks associated
with the ec2-user and the keys.

Thanks,

KEVIN O'DONNELL
