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 hosts a web application on an Apache web server. The application runs on Amazon EC2 instances that are in an Auto Scaling group. The company configured the EC2 instances to send the Apache web server logs to an Amazon CloudWatch Logs group that the company has configured to expire after 1 year.
Recently, the company discovered in the Apache web server logs that a specific IP address is sending suspicious requests to the web application. A security engineer wants to analyze the past week of Apache web server logs to determine how many requests that the IP address sent and the corresponding URLs that the IP address requested.
What should the security engineer do to meet these requirements with the LEAST effort?
A company is implementing new compliance requirements to meet customer needs. According to the new requirements the company must not use any Amazon RDS DB instances or DB clusters that lack encryption of the underlying storage. The company needs a solution that will generate an email alert when an unencrypted DB instance or DB cluster is created. The solution also must terminate the unencrypted DB instance or DB cluster.
Which solution will meet these requirements in the MOST operationally efficient manner?
A company uses an organization in AWS Organizations to help separate its Amazon EC2 instances and VPCs. The company has separate OUs for development workloads and production workloads.
A security engineer must ensure that only AWS accounts in the production OU can write VPC flow logs to an Amazon S3 bucket. The security engineer is configuring the S3 bucket policy with a Condition element to allow the s3 PutObject action for VPC flow logs.
How should the security engineer configure the Condition element to meet these requirements?
