Security and Compliance

A company uses AWS CodeBuild to build and test code. The build jobs need to access a private S3 bucket to download dependencies. Which THREE steps are required to securely grant access?

A DevOps engineer needs to ensure that all API calls made to AWS are logged for compliance. The logs must be stored in S3 for at least 7 years. Which AWS service should they use?

A company wants to centralize IAM user management across multiple AWS accounts. The company currently uses individual IAM users in each account. What is the BEST practice for centralized access control?

A company has an IAM policy that allows users to manage their own passwords and MFA devices. The policy includes a condition that requires MFA for all API operations except for changing passwords and MFA. Which THREE statements are true about this policy? (Choose THREE.)

Which TWO are best practices for securing an Amazon RDS database? (Choose 2)

Which TWO AWS services can be used to manage and rotate database credentials automatically? (Select TWO.)

A company runs a web application on EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). The security team requires that all traffic to the ALB must be encrypted (HTTPS) and that the ALB must only accept traffic from CloudFront. The DevOps engineer has configured CloudFront with an origin pointing to the ALB, and the ALB has a listener on port 443 with a valid SSL certificate. The engineer also added a security group rule to the ALB that allows HTTPS traffic only from CloudFront's IP ranges. However, users are reporting intermittent 503 errors. The engineer checks CloudFront logs and sees that some requests are failing with 'Origin Connect Error'. What is the most likely cause?

A DevOps engineer needs to grant cross-account access to an S3 bucket. The source account is 111111111111 and the destination account is 222222222222. Which policy should be attached to the S3 bucket?

A company is running a critical application on an Amazon EC2 instance that needs to access an S3 bucket. The application must use temporary credentials that automatically rotate. The DevOps engineer must ensure that the credentials are never stored on disk. Which approach meets these requirements?

A company uses AWS Organizations with multiple accounts. The security team needs to enforce that all new member accounts automatically receive a specific AWS Config rule to require encryption on Amazon EBS volumes. Which solution meets this requirement with the least operational overhead?

A company has a multi-account AWS environment using AWS Organizations. They want to centrally manage user access to all accounts using single sign-on (SSO) and enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA). Which service should they use?

A company's security policy requires that all EC2 instances must be launched with an IAM role that provides least privilege access. A DevOps engineer needs to enforce this across the organization. Which approach is MOST effective?

A DevOps engineer is designing a CI/CD pipeline that deploys code to an EC2 instance. The engineer needs to securely store and retrieve database credentials used by the application. Which AWS service should be used?

A company needs to ensure that all API calls made to AWS are encrypted in transit. Which of the following is the correct way to enforce this?

A company is using AWS CodePipeline to deploy a web application. The pipeline includes a source stage (CodeCommit), a build stage (CodeBuild), and a deploy stage (CodeDeploy). The security team requires that all artifacts be encrypted at rest and in transit. Which configuration ensures encryption for all stages?

A company is using AWS CloudFormation to deploy infrastructure. They need to ensure that all resources created by CloudFormation are tagged with a 'CostCenter' tag. The tag must be applied automatically to all resources in the stack. What should they do?

A DevOps engineer needs to ensure that EC2 instances can access an S3 bucket without storing AWS credentials on the instances. Which solution meets this requirement?

A DevOps team is deploying a web application on EC2 instances behind an ALB. The application must authenticate users using an external identity provider (IdP) that supports SAML 2.0. Which solution provides the simplest integration with the ALB?

A company is using AWS KMS to encrypt data in Amazon S3. The security team wants to ensure that the KMS key can only be used from within the company's VPC. What should be done? (Choose TWO.)

A DevOps team is designing a solution to encrypt data at rest for an Amazon RDS for MySQL database. Which TWO actions should the team take? (Choose TWO.)

A DevOps engineer is designing a CI/CD pipeline for a microservices application. The pipeline must scan container images for vulnerabilities before deploying to Amazon ECS. Which service should the engineer use to perform the vulnerability scan?

A security team wants to automatically detect and remediate S3 buckets that are publicly accessible across multiple AWS accounts. Which solution is MOST efficient and scalable? (Choose THREE.)

A DevOps engineer needs to securely store database credentials for an application running on EC2. The credentials must be rotated automatically every 30 days. Which solution meets these requirements?

A company uses AWS Secrets Manager to rotate secrets for an RDS database. The rotation Lambda function fails with a timeout error. What is the most likely cause?

A developer wants to grant an EC2 instance read-only access to a specific S3 bucket. Which AWS mechanism should they use to securely provide credentials to the instance?

A company wants to centrally manage user access to multiple AWS accounts using federated identity. Which AWS service should be used to create a single sign-on (SSO) solution?

A company uses AWS KMS to encrypt data in Amazon S3. The security team requires that all encryption keys be rotated automatically every 365 days. Which type of KMS key should be used?

Refer to the exhibit. This S3 bucket policy allows the root user of account 111122223333 to perform which actions?

A company is deploying a web application on AWS and needs to ensure that all traffic to the application is encrypted in transit. The application runs behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). Which configuration should be used to enforce HTTPS-only access?

A company requires that all access to their S3 buckets be encrypted in transit. Which configuration achieves this?

A DevOps engineer must ensure that all API calls in an AWS account are logged for compliance. The logs should be stored in an S3 bucket with server-side encryption enabled. Which two services should be used together to meet these requirements?

A security audit reveals that an S3 bucket contains objects that are publicly accessible. The DevOps engineer must prevent any future public access to the bucket and all objects within it. Which THREE actions should the engineer take? (Choose THREE.)
