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 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?
A company is testing incident response procedures for destination containment. The company needs to contain a critical Amazon EC2 instance as quickly as possible while keeping the EC2 instance running. The EC2 instance is the only resource in a public subnet and has active connections to other resources.
Which solution will contain the EC2 instance IMMEDIATELY?
A Security Engineer has been tasked with enabling IAM Security Hub to monitor Amazon EC2 instances fix CVE in a single IAM account The Engineer has already enabled IAM Security Hub and Amazon Inspector m the IAM Management Console and has installed me Amazon Inspector agent on an EC2 instances that need to be monitored.
Which additional steps should the Security Engineer lake 10 meet this requirement?
