AIF-C01 Practice Question: A data science team is using Amazon SageMaker…
A data science team is using Amazon SageMaker Studio. To meet compliance requirements, they need to ensure that all user activity in the environment is logged and that any unauthorized access attempts are detected. Which approach should they take?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse logging (CloudTrail) with threat detection (GuardDuty) and assume that enabling CloudTrail alone satisfies both requirements, but GuardDuty is specifically needed to analyze logs for unauthorized access attempts.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Enable AWS CloudTrail and Amazon GuardDuty for threat detection.
AWS CloudTrail logs all API activity in SageMaker Studio, including user actions and access attempts, while Amazon GuardDuty provides intelligent threat detection by analyzing CloudTrail logs, VPC flow logs, and DNS logs for unauthorized access patterns. Together, they meet compliance requirements for logging and detecting unauthorized access without additional configuration overhead.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Enable SageMaker Model Monitor and configure Amazon S3 server access logs.
Why it's wrong here
Model Monitor is for data drift, not user activity logging.
- ✓
Enable AWS CloudTrail and Amazon GuardDuty for threat detection.
Why this is correct
CloudTrail logs API calls and GuardDuty detects unauthorized access patterns.
- ✗
Use AWS Config rules to track changes and Amazon Inspector for vulnerability scanning.
Why it's wrong here
Config tracks resource changes, not user activity; Inspector scans for vulnerabilities.
- ✗
Enable SageMaker Studio with VPC only mode and use AWS CloudTrail.
Why it's wrong here
VPC only mode does not provide logging of all user activity.
