AWS Certified Security - Specialty Questions and Answers

Question 9

A company is building an application on IAM that will store sensitive Information. The company has a support team with access to the IT infrastructure, including databases. The company's security engineer must introduce measures to protect the sensitive data against any data breach while minimizing management overhead. The credentials must be regularly rotated.

What should the security engineer recommend?

Options:

A.

Enable Amazon RDS encryption to encrypt the database and snapshots. Enable Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) encryption on Amazon EC2 instances. Include the database credential in the EC2 user data field. Use an IAM Lambda function to rotate database credentials. Set up TLS for the connection to the database.

B.

Install a database on an Amazon EC2 Instance. Enable third-party disk encryption to encrypt the Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume. Store the database credentials in IAM CloudHSM with automatic rotation. Set up TLS for the connection to the database.

C.

Enable Amazon RDS encryption to encrypt the database and snapshots. Enable Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) encryption on Amazon EC2 instances. Store the database credentials in IAM Secrets Manager with automatic rotation. Set up TLS for the connection to the RDS hosted database.

D.

Set up an IAM CloudHSM cluster with IAM Key Management Service (IAM KMS) to store KMS keys. Set up Amazon RDS encryption using IAM KMS to encrypt the database. Store database credentials in the IAM Systems Manager Parameter Store with automatic rotation. Set up TLS for the connection to the RDS hosted database.

Question 10

A company runs workloads in the us-east-1 Region. The company has never deployed resources to other AWS Regions and does not have any multi-Region resources.

The company needs to replicate its workloads and infrastructure to the us-west-1 Region.

A security engineer must implement a solution that uses AWS Secrets Manager to store secrets in both Regions. The solution must use AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) to encrypt the secrets. The solution must minimize latency and must be able to work if only one Region is available.

The security engineer uses Secrets Manager to create the secrets in us-east-1.

What should the security engineer do next to meet the requirements?

Options:

A.

Encrypt the secrets in us-east-1 by using an AWS managed KMS key. Replicate the secrets to us-west-1. Encrypt the secrets in us-west-1 by using a new AWS managed KMS key in us-west-1.

B.

Encrypt the secrets in us-east-1 by using an AWS managed KMS key. Configure resources in us-west-1 to call the Secrets Manager endpoint in us-east-1.

C.

Encrypt the secrets in us-east-1 by using a customer managed KMS key. Configure resources in us-west-1 to call the Secrets Manager endpoint in us-east-1.

D.

Encrypt the secrets in us-east-1 by using a customer managed KMS key. Replicate the secrets to us-west-1. Encrypt the secrets in us-west-1 by using the customer managed KMS key from us-east-1.

Question 11

A company deployed Amazon GuardDuty In the us-east-1 Region. The company wants all DNS logs that relate to the company's Amazon EC2 instances to be inspected. What should a security engineer do to ensure that the EC2 instances are logged?

Options:

A.

Use IPv6 addresses that are configured for hostnames.

B.

Configure external DNS resolvers as internal resolvers that are visible only to IAM.

C.

Use IAM DNS resolvers for all EC2 instances.

D.

Configure a third-party DNS resolver with logging for all EC2 instances.

Question 12

A security engineer is working with a company to design an ecommerce application. The application will run on Amazon EC2 instances that run in an Auto Scaling group behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). The application will use an Amazon RDS DB instance for its database.

The only required connectivity from the internet is for HTTP and HTTPS traffic to the application. The application must communicate with an external payment provider that allows traffic only from a preconfigured allow list of IP addresses. The company must ensure that communications with the external payment provider are not interrupted as the environment scales.

Which combination of actions should the security engineer recommend to meet these requirements? (Select THREE.)

Options:

A.

Deploy a NAT gateway in each private subnet for every Availability Zone that is in use.

B.

Place the DB instance in a public subnet.

C.

Place the DB instance in a private subnet.

D.

Configure the Auto Scaling group to place the EC2 instances in a public subnet.

E.

Configure the Auto Scaling group to place the EC2 instances in a private subnet.

F.

Deploy the ALB in a private subnet.
