Question 1
Single choice

A security engineer needs to implement a solution to create and control the keys that a company uses for cryptographic operations. The security engineer must create symmetric keys in which the key material is generated and used within a custom key store that is backed by an AWS CloudHSM cluster. The security engineer will use symmetric and asymmetric data key pairs for local use within applications. The security engineer also must audit the use of the keys.

How can the security engineer meet these requirements?

A.

To create the keys, use AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) and the custom key stores with the CloudHSM cluster. For auditing, use Amazon Athena.

B.

To create the keys, use Amazon S3 and the custom key stores with the CloudHSM cluster. For auditing, use AWS CloudTrail.

C.

To create the keys, use AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) and the custom key stores with the CloudHSM cluster. For auditing, use Amazon GuardDuty.

D.

To create the keys, use AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) and the custom key stores with the CloudHSM cluster. For auditing, use AWS CloudTrail.

Question 2
Single choice

A company is using AWS Organizations with nested OUs to manage AWS accounts. The company has a custom compliance monitoring service for the accounts. The monitoring service runs as an AWS Lambda function and is invoked by Amazon EventBridge Scheduler.
The company needs to deploy the monitoring service in all existing and future accounts in the organization.
The company must avoid using the organization ' s management account when the management account is not required.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

A.

Create a CloudFormation stack set in the organization ' s management account and manually add new accounts.

B.

Configure a delegated administrator account for AWS CloudFormation. Create a CloudFormation StackSet in the delegated administrator account targeting the organization root with automatic deployment enabled.

C.

Use Systems Manager delegated administration and Automation to deploy the Lambda function and schedule.

D.

Create a Systems Manager Automation runbook in the management account and share it to accounts.

Question 3
Multiple choice

A company has AWS accounts in an organization in AWS Organizations. The organization includes a dedicated security account.
All AWS account activity across all member accounts must be logged and reported to the dedicated security account. The company must retain all the activity logs in a secure storage location within the dedicated security account for2 years.No changes or deletions of the logs are allowed.
Which combination of steps will meet these requirements with theLEAST operational overhead? (Select
TWO.)

A.

In the dedicated security account, create an Amazon S3 bucket. Configure S3 Object Lock incompliance modewith a retention period of 2 years. Set the bucket policy to allow the organization' smanagement accountto write to the S3 bucket.

B.

In the dedicated security account, create an Amazon S3 bucket. Configure S3 Object Lock incompliance modewith a retention period of 2 years. Set the bucket policy to allow the organization' smember accountsto write to the S3 bucket.

C.

In the dedicated security account, create an Amazon S3 bucket with an S3 Lifecycle configuration that expires objects after 2 years. Allow member accounts to write to the bucket.

D.

Create anAWS CloudTrail organization trail. Configure logs to be delivered to the Amazon S3 bucket in the dedicated security account.

E.

Turn on AWS CloudTrail in each account and forward logs to the dedicated security account by using AWS Lambda and Amazon Data Firehose.

Question 4
Single choice

A security engineer received an Amazon GuardDuty alert indicating a finding involving the Amazon EC2 instance that hosts the company ' s primary website. The GuardDuty finding received read: UnauthorizedAccess:IAMUser/InstanceCredentialExfiltration. The security engineer confirmed that a malicious actor used API access keys intended for the EC2 instance from a country where the company

does not operate. The security engineer needs to deny access to the malicious actor.

What is the first step the security engineer should take?

A.

Open the EC2 console and remove any security groups that allow inbound traffic from 0.0.0.0/0.

B.

Install the AWS Systems Manager Agent on the EC2 instance and run an inventory report.

C.

Install the Amazon Inspector agent on the host and run an assessment with the CVE rules package.

D.

Open the IAM console and revoke all IAM sessions that are associated with the instance profile.

Question 5
Single choice

A company that builds document management systems recently performed a security review of its application on AWS. The review showed that uploads of documents through signed URLs into Amazon S3 could occur in the application without encryption in transit. A security engineer must implement a solution that prevents uploads that are not encrypted in transit.

Which solution will meet this requirement?

A.

Ensure that all client implementations are using HTTPS to upload documents into the application.

B.

Configure the s3-bucket-ssl-requests-only managed rule in AWS Config.

C.

Add an S3 bucket policy that denies all S3 actions for condition "aws:SecureTransport": "false".

D.

Add an S3 bucket ACL with a grantee of AllUsers, a permission of WRITE, and a condition of secureTransport.

Question 6
Single choice

A company's security team needs to receive a notification whenever an AWS access key has not been rotated in 90 or more days. A security engineer must develop a solution that provides these notifications automatically.

Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST amount of effort?

A.

Deploy an AWS Config managed rule to run on a periodic basis of 24 hours. Select the access-keys-rotated managed rule, and set the maxAccessKeyAge parameter to 90 days. Create an Amazon EventBridge rule with an event pattern that matches the compliance type of NON_COMPLIANT from AWS Config for the managed rule. Configure EventBridge to send an Amazon SNS notification to the security team.

B.

Create a script to export a.csv file from the AWS Trusted Advisor check for IAM access key rotation.
Load the script into an AWS Lambda function that will upload the.csv file to an Amazon S3 bucket. Create an Amazon Athena table query that runs when the.csv file is uploaded to the S3 bucket. Publish the results for any keys older than 90 days by using an invocation of an Amazon SNS notification to the security team.

C.

Create a script to download the IAM credentials report on a periodic basis. Load the script into an AWS Lambda function that will run on a schedule through Amazon EventBridge. Configure the Lambda script to load the report into memory and to filter the report for records in which the key was last rotated at least 90 days ago. If any records are detected, send an Amazon SNS notification to the security team.

D.

Create an AWS Lambda function that queries the IAM API to list all the users. Iterate through the users by using the ListAccessKeys operation. Verify that the value in the CreateDate field is not at least 90 days old. Send an SNS notification to the security team if the value is at least 90 days old. Create an EventBridge rule to schedule the Lambda function to run each day.

Question 7

D.

Verify IAM policy allows AWS Config to write logs.
