Sample questions with explanations

This is exactly what you see during practice — question, options, and a full explanation after you answer.

Refer to the exhibit. A security engineer discovers that the S3 bucket policy allows public read access from the entire corporate network (10.0.0.0/16). However, the company wants to restrict access only to the security team's subnet (10.0.1.0/24). What modification should be made to the policy?

AAdd a Deny statement for the 10.0.0.0/16 range.
BAdd a Deny statement for IP addresses outside 10.0.1.0/24.
CRemove the Condition element to allow access from any IP.
Change the Condition value to "aws:SourceIp": "10.0.1.0/24".Correct

Modifying the Condition value to "aws:SourceIp": "10.0.1.0/24" directly restricts the S3 bucket policy to allow read access only from the security team's subnet. The original policy uses the aws:SourceIp condition key with the broader 10.0.0.0/16 range, so narrowing it to 10.0.1.…Read full explanation

Q2Cloud Application Securitymedium

A security team is implementing a web application firewall (WAF) for a cloud-based e-commerce application. The application is built on a microservices architecture and uses a RESTful API. Which of the following is the PRIMARY reason to deploy the WAF at the API gateway level rather than at the individual service level?

To provide centralized protection against common web exploits before traffic reaches the microservices.Correct
BTo reduce latency by caching responses at the API gateway.
CTo offload authentication from the microservices to the API gateway.
DTo monitor API usage and detect anomalies in traffic patterns.

Deploying the WAF at the API gateway provides a centralized security enforcement point that inspects and filters all incoming HTTP/HTTPS traffic before it is routed to any individual microservice. This ensures that common web exploits—such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (…Read full explanation

Which TWO of the following are valid methods for securing data at rest in a cloud storage service?

ADisabling encryption to reduce latency.
Implementing client-side encryption before uploading data.Correct
Using server-side encryption with customer-managed keys.Correct
DSetting the storage bucket to public read access.

Client-side encryption ensures data is encrypted before it leaves the client environment, so the cloud provider never has access to the plaintext. This is a valid method for securing data at rest in cloud storage, as the encrypted objects are stored in the service and can only be…Read full explanation
