AWS Certified Security - Specialty Questions and Answers

Question 61

An international company has established a new business entity in South Korea. The company also has established a new AWS account to contain the workload for the South Korean region. The company has set up the workload in the new account in the ap-northeast-2 Region. The workload consists of three Auto Scaling groups of Amazon EC2 instances. All workloads that operate in this Region must keep system logs and application logs for 7 years.

A security engineer must implement a solution to ensure that no logging data is lost for each instance during scaling activities. The solution also must keep the logs for only the required period of 7 years.

Which combination of steps should the security engineer take to meet these requirements? (Choose three.)

Options:

Ensure that the Amazon CloudWatch agent is installed on all the EC2 instances that the Auto Scaling groups launch. Generate a CloudWatch agent configuration file to forward the required logs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs.

Set the log retention for desired log groups to 7 years.

Attach an IAM role to the launch configuration or launch template that the Auto Scaling groups use. Configure the role to provide the necessary permissions to forward logs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs.

Attach an IAM role to the launch configuration or launch template that the Auto Scaling groups use. Configure the role to provide the necessary permissions to forward logs to Amazon S3.

Ensure that a log forwarding application is installed on all the EC2 instances that the Auto Scaling groups launch. Configure the log forwarding application to periodically bundle the logs and forward the logs to Amazon S3.

Configure an Amazon S3 Lifecycle policy on the target S3 bucket to expire objects after 7 years.

Answer:

A, B, C

Explanation:

The correct combination of steps that the security engineer should take to meet these requirements are A. Ensure that the Amazon CloudWatch agent is installed on all the EC2 instances that the Auto Scaling groups launch. Generate a CloudWatch agent configuration file to forward the required logs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs., B. Set the log retention for desired log groups to 7 years., and C. Attach an IAM role to the launch configuration or launch template that the Auto Scaling groups use. Configure the role to provide the necessary permissions to forward logs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs.

A. This answer is correct because it meets the requirement of ensuring that no logging data is lost for each instance during scaling activities. By installing the CloudWatch agent on all the EC2 instances, the security engineer can collect and send system logs and application logs to CloudWatch Logs, which is a service that stores and monitors log data. By generating a CloudWatch agent configuration file, the security engineer can specify which logs to forward and how often.

B. This answer is correct because it meets the requirement of keeping the logs for only the required period of 7 years. By setting the log retention for desired log groups, the security engineer can control how long CloudWatch Logs retains log events before deleting them. The security engineer can choose a predefined retention period of 7 years, or use a custom value.

C. This answer is correct because it meets the requirement of providing the necessary permissions to forward logs to CloudWatch Logs. By attaching an IAM role to the launch configuration or launch template that the Auto Scaling groups use, the security engineer can grant permissions to the EC2 instances that are launched by the Auto Scaling groups. By configuring the role to provide the necessary permissions, such as cloudwatch:PutLogEvents and cloudwatch:CreateLogStream, the security engineer can allow the EC2 instances to send log data to CloudWatch Logs.

Question 62

A company wants to establish separate IAM Key Management Service (IAM KMS) keys to use for different IAM services. The company's security engineer created the following key policy lo allow the infrastructure deployment team to create encrypted Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes by assuming the InfrastructureDeployment IAM role:

The security engineer recently discovered that IAM roles other than the InfrastructureDeployment role used this key (or other services. Which change to the policy should the security engineer make to resolve these issues?

Options:

In the statement block that contains the Sid "Allow use of the key", under the "Condition" block, change StringEquals to StringLike.

In the policy document, remove the statement Dlock that contains the Sid "Enable IAM User Permissions". Add key management policies to the KMS policy.

In the statement block that contains the Sid "Allow use of the Key", under the "Condition" block, change the Kms:ViaService value to ec2.us-east-1 .amazonIAM com.

In the policy document, add a new statement block that grants the kms:Disable' permission to the security engineer's IAM role.

Question 63

A company's application team wants to replace an internal application with a new IAM architecture that consists of Amazon EC2 instances, an IAM Lambda function, and an Amazon S3 bucket in a single IAM Region. After an architecture review, the security team mandates that no application network traffic can traverse the public internet at any point. The security team already has an SCP in place for the company's organization in IAM Organizations to restrict the creation of internet gateways. NAT gateways, and egress-only gateways.

Which combination of steps should the application team take to meet these requirements? (Select THREE.)

Options:

Create an S3 endpoint that has a full-access policy for the application's VPC.

Create an S3 access point for the S3 bucket. Include a policy that restricts the network origin to VPCs.

Launch the Lambda function. Enable the block public access configuration.

Create a security group that has an outbound rule over port 443 with a destination of the S3 endpomt. Associate the security group with the EC2 instances.

Create a security group that has an outbound rule over port 443 with a destination of the S3 access point. Associate the security group with the EC2 instances.

Launch the Lambda function in a VPC.

Question 64

A security engineer is defining the controls required to protect the IAM account root user credentials in an IAM Organizations hierarchy. The controls should also limit the impact in case these credentials have been compromised.

Which combination of controls should the security engineer propose? (Select THREE.)

C) Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) for the root user.

D) Set a strong randomized password and store it in a secure location.

E) Create an access key ID and secret access key, and store them in a secure location.

F) Apply the following permissions boundary to the toot user:
