AWS Certified Security - Specialty Questions and Answers

Question 25

A Security Engineer is troubleshooting an issue with a company's custom logging application. The application logs are written to an Amazon S3 bucket with event notifications enabled to send events lo an Amazon SNS topic. All logs are encrypted at rest using an IAM KMS CMK. The SNS topic is subscribed to an encrypted Amazon SQS queue. The logging application polls the queue for new messages that contain metadata about the S3 object. The application then reads the content of the object from the S3 bucket for indexing.

The Logging team reported that Amazon CloudWatch metrics for the number of messages sent or received is showing zero. No togs are being received.

What should the Security Engineer do to troubleshoot this issue?

A) Add the following statement to the IAM managed CMKs:

B)

Add the following statement to the CMK key policy:

C)

Add the following statement to the CMK key policy:

D)

Add the following statement to the CMK key policy:

Options:

A.

Option A

Question 26

A company is using Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) to deploy an application that deals with sensitive data During a recent security audit, the company identified a security issue in which Amazon RDS credentials were stored with the application code In the company's source code repository

A security engineer needs to develop a solution to ensure that database credentials are stored securely and rotated periodically. The credentials should be accessible to the application only The engineer also needs to prevent database administrators from sharing database credentials as plaintext with other teammates. The solution must also minimize administrate overhead

Which solution meets these requirements?

Options:

A.

Use the IAM Systems Manager Parameter Store to generate database credentials. Use an IAM profile for ECS tasks to restrict access to database credentials to specific containers only.

B.

Use IAM Secrets Manager to store database credentials. Use an IAM inline policy for ECS tasks to restrict access to database credentials to specific containers only.

C.

Use the IAM Systems Manager Parameter Store to store database credentials. Use IAM roles for ECS tasks to restrict access to database credentials lo specific containers only

D.

Use IAM Secrets Manager to store database credentials. Use IAM roles for ECS tasks to restrict access to database credentials to specific containers only.

Question 27

A company has an AWS account that includes an Amazon S3 bucket. The S3 bucket uses server-side encryption with AWS KMS keys (SSE-KMS) to encrypt all the objects at rest by using a customer managed key. The S3 bucket does not have a bucket policy.

An IAM role in the same account has an IAM policy that allows s3 List* and s3 Get' permissions for the S3 bucket. When the IAM role attempts to access an object in the S3 bucket the role receives an access denied message.

Why does the IAM rote not have access to the objects that are in the S3 bucket?

Options:

A.

The IAM rote does not have permission to use the KMS CreateKey operation.

B.

The S3 bucket lacks a policy that allows access to the customer managed key that encrypts the objects.

C.

The IAM rote does not have permission to use the customer managed key that encrypts the objects that are in the S3 bucket.

D.

The ACL of the S3 objects does not allow read access for the objects when the objects ace encrypted at rest.

Question 28

An AWS account that is used for development projects has a VPC that contains two subnets. The first subnet is named public-subnet-1 and has the CIDR block 192.168.1.0/24 assigned. The other subnet is named private-subnet-2 and has the CIDR block 192.168.2.0/24 assigned. Each subnet contains Amazon EC2 instances.

Each subnet is currently using the VPC's default network ACL. The security groups that the EC2 instances in these subnets use have rules that allow traffic between each instance where required. Currently, all network traffic flow is working as expected between the EC2 instances that are using these subnets.

A security engineer creates a new network ACL that is named subnet-2-NACL with default entries. The security engineer immediately configures private-subnet-2 to use the new network ACL and makes no other changes to the infrastructure. The security engineer starts to receive reports that the EC2 instances in public-subnet-1 and public-subnet-2 cannot communicate with each other.

Which combination of steps should the security engineer take to allow the EC2 instances that are running in these two subnets to communicate again? (Select TWO.)

Options:

A.

Add an outbound allow rule for 192.168.2.0/24 in the VPC's default network ACL.

B.

Add an inbound allow rule for 192.168.2.0/24 in the VPC's default network ACL.

C.

Add an outbound allow rule for 192.168.2.0/24 in subnet-2-NACL.

D.

Add an inbound allow rule for 192.168.1.0/24 in subnet-2-NACL.

E.

Add an outbound allow rule for 192.168.1.0/24 in subnet-2-NACL.
