EBS Volume Snapshot Public

Ensures EBS volume snapshots are private

EBS volumes often contain sensitive data from running EC2 instances and should be set to private so they cannot be accidentally shared with other accounts.

Recommended Actions

Ensure that each EBS snapshot has its permissions set to private.
