A company wants to prevent SSH access through the use of SSH key pairs for any Amazon Linux 2 Amazon EC2 instances in its AWS account. However, a system administrator occasionally will need to access these EC2 instances through SSH in an emergency. For auditing purposes, the company needs to record any commands that a user runs in an EC2 instance.
What should a security engineer do to configure access to these EC2 instances to meet these requirements?
A company's data scientists want to create AI/ML training models using Amazon SageMaker. The training models will use large datasets in an Amazon S3 bucket. The datasets contain sensitive information. On average, the data scientists need 30 days to train models. The S3 bucket has been secured appropriately. The company’s data retention policy states that all data older than 45 days must be removed from the S3 bucket.
A security engineer is designing an IAM policy for a script that will use the AWS CLI. The script currently assumes an IAM role that is attached to three AWS managed IAM policies: AmazonEC2FullAccess, AmazonDynamoDBFullAccess, and Ama-zonVPCFullAccess.
The security engineer needs to construct a least privilege IAM policy that will replace the AWS managed IAM policies that are attached to this role.
Which solution will meet these requirements in the MOST operationally efficient way?
A company that uses AWS Organizations is migrating workloads to AWS. The compa-nys application team determines that the workloads will use Amazon EC2 instanc-es, Amazon S3 buckets, Amazon DynamoDB tables, and Application Load Balancers. For each resource type, the company mandates that deployments must comply with the following requirements:
• All EC2 instances must be launched from approved AWS accounts.
• All DynamoDB tables must be provisioned with a standardized naming convention.
• All infrastructure that is provisioned in any accounts in the organization must be deployed by AWS CloudFormation templates.
Which combination of steps should the application team take to meet these re-quirements? (Select TWO.)
A security analyst attempted to troubleshoot the monitoring of suspicious security group changes. The analyst was told that there is an Amazon CloudWatch alarm in place for these AWS CloudTrail log events. The analyst tested the monitoring setup by making a configuration change to the security group but did not receive any alerts.
Which of the following troubleshooting steps should the analyst perform?
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.)
An application is running on an Amazon EC2 instance that has an IAM role attached. The IAM role provides access to an AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) customer managed key and an Amazon S3 bucket. The key is used to access 2 TB of sensitive data that is stored in the S3 bucket.
A security engineer discovers a potential vulnerability on the EC2 instance that could result in the compromise of the sensitive data. Due to other critical operations, the security engineer cannot immediately shut down the EC2 instance for vulnerability patching.
What is the FASTEST way to prevent the sensitive data from being exposed?
A company has multiple Amazon S3 buckets encrypted with customer-managed CMKs Due to regulatory requirements the keys must be rotated every year. The company's Security Engineer has enabled automatic key rotation for the CMKs; however the company wants to verity that the rotation has occurred.
What should the Security Engineer do to accomplish this?
A security engineer is implementing authentication for a multi-account environment by using federated access with SAML 2.0. The security engineer has configured AWS IAM Identity Center as an identity provider (IdP). The security engineer also has created IAM roles to grant access to the AWS accounts.
A federated user reports an authentication failure when the user attempts to authenticate with the new system.
What should the security engineer do to troubleshoot this issue in the MOST operationally efficient way?
A company manages multiple IAM accounts using IAM Organizations. The company's security team notices that some member accounts are not sending IAM CloudTrail logs to a centralized Amazon S3 logging bucket. The security team wants to ensure there is at least one trail configured (or all existing accounts and for any account that is created in the future.
Which set of actions should the security team implement to accomplish this?
