Research direction

Start by reading the AWS::EC2::SecurityGroup documentation linked in the issue and reviewing the requested !GetAtt MySG.GroupName example. Confirm how CloudFormation exposes SecurityGroup attributes when it generates the group name. Done means the GroupName attribute is supported and returns the generated security-group name.
