Key domains include:
Incident Response
Logging and Monitoring
Infrastructure Security

Secure Design and Implementation
The SCS-C02 certification is all about protecting AWS environments—think encryption, access control, threat detection, and compliance. On the other hand, the ANS-C01 certification dives deep into network architecture—including hybrid setups, routing protocols, and secure connectivity.
A company's on-premises networks are connected to VPCs using an IAM Direct Connect gateway. The company's on-premises application needs to stream data using an existing Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream. The company's security policy requires that data be encrypted in transit using a private network.
How should the company meet these requirements?
A company has a single AWS account and uses an Amazon EC2 instance to test application code. The company recently discovered that the instance was compromised. The instance was serving up malware. The analysis of the instance showed that the instance was compromised 35 days ago.
A security engineer must implement a continuous monitoring solution that automatically notifies the company’s security team about compromised instances through an email distribution list for high severity findings. The security engineer must implement the solution as soon as possible.
Which combination of steps should the security engineer take to meet these requirements? (Choose three.)
A company is running a container-based workload on AWS. The workload runs on an Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) cluster and uses container images from an Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR) repository.
The company recently experienced a security incident that involved a container image that included critical vulnerabilities. A CI/CD pipeline that was running outside AWS uploaded the image to the ECR repository and deployed the image to the ECS cluster.
Which solution will prevent images that have vulnerabilities from being pushed to the ECR repository?
