A company has an application that runs on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). The instances are in an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group and are attached to Amazon Elastic Blodfc Store (Amazon EBS) volumes.
A security engineer needs to preserve all forensic evidence from one of the instances.
Which order of steps should the security engineer use to meet this requirement?
A company deploys a distributed web application on a fleet of Amazon EC2 instances. The fleet is behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB) that will be configured to terminate the TLS connection. All TLS traffic to the ALB must stay secure, even if the certificate private key is compromised.
How can a security engineer meet this requirement?
A company's application team needs to host a MySQL database on IAM. According to the company's security policy, all data that is stored on IAM must be encrypted at rest. In addition, all cryptographic material must be compliant with FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation.
The application team needs a solution that satisfies the company's security requirements and minimizes operational overhead.
