Key domains include:
Incident Response
Logging and Monitoring
Infrastructure Security
Identity and Access Management
Data Protection
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 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?
A company has contracted with a third party to audit several AWS accounts. To enable the audit, cross- account IAM roles have been created in each account targeted for audit. The Auditor is having trouble accessing some of the accounts.
Which of the following may be causing this problem? (Choose three.)
A company's security engineer is designing an isolation procedure for Amazon EC2 instances as part of an incident response plan. The security engineer needs to isolate a target instance to block any traffic to and from the target instance, except for traffic from the company's forensics team. Each of the company's EC2 instances has its own dedicated security group. The EC2 instances are deployed in subnets of a VPC. A subnet can contain multiple instances.
The security engineer is testing the procedure for EC2 isolation and opens an SSH session to the target instance. The procedure starts to simulate access to the target instance by an attacker. The security engineer removes the existing security group rules and adds security group rules to give the forensics team access to the target instance on port 22.
After these changes, the security engineer notices that the SSH connection is still active and usable. When the security engineer runs a ping command to the public IP address of the target instance, the ping command is blocked.
What should the security engineer do to isolate the target instance?
