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.

Use the EC2 serial console Configure the EC2 serial console to save all commands that are entered to an Amazon S3 bucket. Provide the EC2 instances with an IAM role that allows the EC2 serial console to access Amazon S3. Configure an IAM account for the system administrator. Provide an IAM policy that allows the IAM account to use the EC2 serial console.

B.

Use EC2 Instance Connect Configure EC2 Instance Connect to save all commands that are entered to Amazon CloudWatch Logs. Provide the EC2 instances with an IAM role that allows the EC2 instances to access CloudWatch Logs Configure an IAM account for the system administrator. Provide an IAM policy that allows the IAM account to use EC2 Instance Connect.

C.

Use an EC2 key pair with an EC2 instance that needs SSH access Access the EC2 instance with this key pair by using SSH. Configure the EC2 instance to save allcommands that are entered to Amazon CloudWatch Logs. Provide the EC2 instance with an IAM role that allows the EC2 instance to access Amazon S3 and CloudWatchLogs.

D.

Use AWS Systems Manager Session Manager Configure Session Manager to save all commands that are entered in a session to an Amazon S3 bucket. Provide the EC2 instances with an IAM role that allows Systems Manager to manage the EC2 instances. Configure an IAM account for the system administrator Provide an IAM policy that allows the IAM account to use Session Manager.

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.

Configure an S3 Lifecycle rule on the S3 bucket to delete objects after 45 days.

B.

Create an AWS Lambda function to check the last-modified date of the S3 objects and delete objects that are older than 45 days. Create an S3 event notification to invoke the Lambda function for each PutObject operation.

C.

Create an AWS Lambda function to check the last-modified date of the S3 objects and delete objects that are older than 45 days. Create an Amazon EventBridge rule to invoke the Lambda function each month.

D.

Configure S3 Intelligent-Tiering on the S3 bucket to automatically transition objects to another storage class.

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.

In AWS CloudTrail, create a trail for management events. Run the script with the existing AWS managed IAM policies. Use IAM Access Analyzer to generate a new IAM policy that is based on access activity in the trail. Replace the existing AWS managed IAM policies with the generated IAM poli-cy for the role.

B.

Remove the existing AWS managed IAM policies from the role. Attach the IAM Access Analyzer Role Policy Generator to the role. Run the script. Return to IAM Access Analyzer and generate a least privilege IAM policy. Attach the new IAM policy to the role.

C.

Create an account analyzer in IAM Access Analyzer. Create an archive rule that has a filter that checks whether the PrincipalArn value matches the ARN of the role. Run the script. Remove the existing AWS managed IAM poli-cies from the role.

D.

In AWS CloudTrail, create a trail for management events. Remove the exist-ing AWS managed IAM policies from the role. Run the script. Find the au-thorization failure in the trail event that is associated with the script. Create a new IAM policy that includes the action and resource that caused the authorization failure. Repeat the process until the script succeeds. Attach the new IAM policy to the role.

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.

Create CloudFormation templates in an administrator AWS account. Share the stack sets with an application AWS account. Restrict the template to be used specifically by the application AWS account.

B.

Create CloudFormation templates in an application AWS account. Share the output with an administrator AWS account to review compliant resources. Restrict output to only the administrator AWS account.

C.

Use permissions boundaries to prevent the application AWS account from provisioning specific resources unless conditions for the internal compli-ance requirements are met.

D.

Use SCPs to prevent the application AWS account from provisioning specific resources unless conditions for the internal compliance requirements are met.

E.

Activate AWS Config managed rules for each service in the application AWS account.

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?

A.

Ensure that CloudTrail and S3 bucket access logging is enabled for the analyst's AWS account.

B.

Verify that a metric filter was created and then mapped to an alarm. Check the alarm notification action.

C.

Check the CloudWatch dashboards to ensure that there is a metric configured with an appropriate dimension for security group changes.

D.

Verify that the analyst's account is mapped to an IAM policy that includes permissions for cloudwatch:GetMetricStatistics andcloudwatch:ListMetrics.

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.)

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.

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.

D.

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.

E.

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.

F.

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

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.

Download the data from the existing S3 bucket to a new EC2 instance. Then delete the data from the S3 bucket. Re-encrypt the data with a client-based key. Upload the data to a new S3 bucket.

B.

Block access to the public range of S3 endpoint IP addresses by using a host-based firewall. Ensure that internet-bound traffic from the affected EC2 instance is routed through the host-based firewall.

C.

Revoke the IAM role's active session permissions. Update the S3 bucket policy to deny access to the IAM role. Remove the IAM role from the EC2 instance profile.

D.

Disable the current key. Create a new KMS key that the IAM role does not have access to, and re-encrypt all the data with the new key. Schedule the compromised key for deletion.

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.

Filter IAM CloudTrail logs for KeyRotaton events

B.

Monitor Amazon CloudWatcn Events for any IAM KMS CMK rotation events

C.

Using the IAM CLI. run the IAM kms gel-key-relation-status operation with the --key-id parameter to check the CMK rotation date

D.

Use Amazon Athena to query IAM CloudTrail logs saved in an S3 bucket to filter Generate New Key events

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.

Review the SAML IdP logs to identify errors. Check AWS CloudTrail to verify the API calls that the user made.

B.

Review the SAML IdP logs to identify errors. Use the IAM policy simulator to validate access to the IAM roles.

C.

Use IAM access advisor to review recent service access. Use the IAM policy simulator to validate access to the IAM roles.

D.

Recreate the SAML IdP in a separate account to confirm the behavior that the user is experiencing.

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?

A.

Create a new trail and configure it to send CloudTrail logs to Amazon S3. Use Amazon EventBridge (Amazon CloudWatch Events) to send notification if a trail is deleted or stopped.

B.

Deploy an IAM Lambda function in every account to check if there is an existing trail and create a new trail, if needed.

C.

Edit the existing trail in the Organizations master account and apply it to the organization.

D.

Create an SCP to deny the cloudtrail:Delete" and cloudtrail:Stop' actions. Apply the SCP to all accounts.
