350-701 An S3 bucket policy is shown Practice Question
Exhibit
Refer to the exhibit.

{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:GetObject",
"s3:PutObject"
],
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::example-bucket/*",
"Condition": {
"Bool": {
"aws:SecureTransport": "true"
}
}
}
]
}
```An S3 bucket policy is shown. What does the condition "aws:SecureTransport": "true" enforce?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between encryption in transit (HTTPS) and encryption at rest (SSE), so candidates mistakenly associate `aws:SecureTransport` with server-side encryption or KMS rather than the transport layer security.
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
✓
All requests to the bucket must use HTTPS
The condition `"aws:SecureTransport": "true"` in an S3 bucket policy enforces that all requests to the bucket must be made over HTTPS (TLS). This ensures that data in transit is encrypted, preventing man-in-the-middle attacks or eavesdropping. The condition evaluates the `aws:SecureTransport` key, which is `true` only when the request uses SSL/TLS.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Only requests from specific IP ranges are allowed
Why it's wrong here
No IP condition is present.
- ✗
Only requests using server-side encryption with KMS are allowed
Why it's wrong here
No encryption condition is specified.
- ✗
All requests must be authenticated using AWS IAM and MFA
Why it's wrong here
There is no MFA condition specified.
- ✓
All requests to the bucket must use HTTPS
Why this is correct
SecureTransport ensures the connection is encrypted via SSL/TLS.
