I recall that checking the SQL audit logs is important, but I’m not convinced that just viewing them is enough to handle the alert.

I heard Alibaba's security team is so on point, they can detect a sneeze from a mile away. Better not even think about connecting to that database unless you've got a signed permission slip from the CEO.

Checking the SQL audit logs? Ain't nobody got time for that! Just lock down that security group and call it a day. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

Modifying the IP address whitelist is definitely the way to go. Better to be proactive and secure that database than let some sketchy IP address sneak in.
