SAP-C02 Practice Question: Design Solutions for Organizational Complexity
A company has multiple AWS accounts in an organization. The security team needs to centrally manage Amazon GuardDuty findings from all accounts. Which THREE steps should the team take to meet this requirement? (Choose THREE.)
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is that candidates might think sending findings to CloudWatch Logs or S3 is the correct way to centralize management, but AWS's native multi-account architecture for GuardDuty relies on the delegated administrator and member account model, not log aggregation.
