In AWS, Transit Gateway enables customers to interconnect their Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) and their on-premises networks to share traffic and resources. The "Auto Accept Shared Attachments" feature in Transit Gateway allows other accounts to connect to a customer's Transit Gateway without explicit approval from the customer.

To ensure Transit Gateway security, "Auto Accept Shared Attachments" should be disabled. This ensures that only authorized accounts are allowed to connect to the Transit Gateway, and the customer has full control over who is granted access to their resources.
