## **AWS EC2 Security**

As a managed service, Amazon EC2 is protected by the AWS global network security procedures that are described in the [Amazon Web Services: Overview of Security Processes](https://d0.awsstatic.com/whitepapers/Security/AWS_Security_Whitepaper.pdf) whitepaper.

The product template allows user to restrict access to RDP security to the EC2 instances
