The AWS service that identifies security groups that allow unrestricted access to a user’s AWS resources is AWS Trusted Advisor.

Trusted Advisor is a service that provides recommendations to help you improve the security, performance, cost optimization, and fault tolerance of your AWS resources. One of the checks that Trusted Advisor offers is Security Groups - Unrestricted Access. This check identifies security groups that allow unrestricted access to a resource. Unrestricted access means that the security group allows any IP address to connect to the resource, which can be a security risk.

Amazon Inspector and Amazon CloudWatch are also security services, but they do not specifically identify security groups that allow unrestricted access. Amazon CloudWatch is a monitoring service that collects and analyzes metrics, logs, and events from your AWS resources. Amazon Inspector is a security assessment service that helps you identify and remediate security vulnerabilities in your AWS resources.

AWS CloudTrail is a logging service that records all API calls made to your AWS account. This includes calls made by AWS services, users, and applications. CloudTrail can be used to audit your AWS environment, troubleshoot issues, and comply with regulatory requirements. However, CloudTrail does not specifically identify security groups that allow unrestricted access.

Therefore, the answer is AWS Trusted Advisor.
