Question 52

A company is using AWS Organizations to manage multiple AWS accounts for its hu-man resources, finance, software development, and production departments. All the company's developers are part of the software development AWS account.

The company discovers that developers have launched Amazon EC2 instances that were preconfigured with software that the company has not approved for use. The company wants to implement a solution to ensure that developers can launch EC2 instances with only approved software applications and only in the software de-velopment AWS account.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

Options:

In the software development account, create AMIS of preconfigured instanc-es that include only approved software. Include the AMI IDs in the condi-tion section of an AWS CloudFormation template to launch the appropriate AMI based on the AWS Region. Provide the developers with the CloudFor-mation template to launch EC2 instances in the software development ac-count.

Create an Amazon EventBridge rule that runs when any EC2 Runlnstances API event occurs in the software development account. Specify AWS Systems Man-ager Run Command as a target of the rule. Configure Run Command to run a script that will install all approved software onto the instances that the developers launch.

Use an AWS Service Catalog portfolio that contains EC2 products with ap-propriate AMIS that include only approved software. Grant the developers permission to portfolio access only the Service Catalog to launch a prod-uct in the software development account.

In the management account, create AMIS of preconfigured instances that in-clude only approved software. Use AWS CloudFormation StackSets to launch the AMIS across any AWS account in the organization. Grant the developers permission to launch the stack sets within the management account.

Question 53

A company has an application that uses an Amazon RDS PostgreSQL database. The company is developing an application feature that will store sensitive information for an individual in the database.

During a security review of the environment, the company discovers that the RDS DB instance is not encrypting data at rest. The company needs a solution that will provide encryption at rest for all the existing data and for any new data that is entered for an individual.

Which combination of options can the company use to meet these requirements? (Select TWO.)

Options:

Create a snapshot of the DB instance. Copy the snapshot to a new snapshot, and enable encryption for the copy process. Use the new snapshot to restore the DB instance.

Modify the configuration of the DB instance by enabling encryption. Create a snapshot of the DB instance. Use the snapshot to restore the DB instance.

Use IAM Key Management Service (IAM KMS) to create a new default IAM managed awa/rds key. Select this key as the encryption key for operations with Amazon RDS.

Use IAM Key Management Service (IAM KMS] to create a new CMK. Select this key as the encryption key for operations with Amazon RDS.

Create a snapshot of the DB instance. Enable encryption on the snapshoVUse the snapshot to restore the DB instance.

Question 54

A company is running its workloads in a single AWS Region and uses AWS Organizations. A security engineer must implement a solution to prevent users from launching resources in other Regions.

Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?

Options:

Create an IAM policy that has an aws RequestedRegion condition that allows actions only in the designated Region Attach the policy to all users.

Create an I AM policy that has an aws RequestedRegion condition that denies actions that are not in the designated Region Attach the policy to the AWS account in AWS Organizations.

Create an IAM policy that has an aws RequestedRegion condition that allows the desired actions Attach the policy only to the users who are in the designated Region.

Create an SCP that has an aws RequestedRegion condition that denies actions that are not in the designated Region. Attach the SCP to the AWS account in AWS Organizations.

Question 55

An international company has established a new business entity in South Korea. The company also has established a new AWS account to contain the workload for the South Korean region. The company has set up the workload in the new account in the ap-northeast-2 Region. The workload consists of three Auto Scaling groups of Amazon EC2 instances. All workloads that operate in this Region must keep system logs and application logs for 7 years.

A security engineer must implement a solution to ensure that no logging data is lost for each instance during scaling activities. The solution also must keep the logs for only the required period of 7 years.

Which combination of steps should the security engineer take to meet these requirements? (Choose three.)

Options:

Ensure that the Amazon CloudWatch agent is installed on all the EC2 instances that the Auto Scaling groups launch. Generate a CloudWatch agent configuration file to forward the required logs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs.

Set the log retention for desired log groups to 7 years.

Attach an IAM role to the launch configuration or launch template that the Auto Scaling groups use. Configure the role to provide the necessary permissions to forward logs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs.

Attach an IAM role to the launch configuration or launch template that the Auto Scaling groups use. Configure the role to provide the necessary permissions to forward logs to Amazon S3.

Ensure that a log forwarding application is installed on all the EC2 instances that the Auto Scaling groups launch. Configure the log forwarding application to periodically bundle the logs and forward the logs to Amazon S3.

Configure an Amazon S3 Lifecycle policy on the target S3 bucket to expire objects after 7 years.

Answer:

A, B, C

Explanation:

The correct combination of steps that the security engineer should take to meet these requirements are A. Ensure that the Amazon CloudWatch agent is installed on all the EC2 instances that the Auto Scaling groups launch. Generate a CloudWatch agent configuration file to forward the required logs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs., B. Set the log retention for desired log groups to 7 years., and C. Attach an IAM role to the launch configuration or launch template that the Auto Scaling groups use. Configure the role to provide the necessary permissions to forward logs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs.

A. This answer is correct because it meets the requirement of ensuring that no logging data is lost for each instance during scaling activities. By installing the CloudWatch agent on all the EC2 instances, the security engineer can collect and send system logs and application logs to CloudWatch Logs, which is a service that stores and monitors log data. By generating a CloudWatch agent configuration file, the security engineer can specify which logs to forward and how often.

B. This answer is correct because it meets the requirement of keeping the logs for only the required period of 7 years. By setting the log retention for desired log groups, the security engineer can control how long CloudWatch Logs retains log events before deleting them. The security engineer can choose a predefined retention period of 7 years, or use a custom value.

C. This answer is correct because it meets the requirement of providing the necessary permissions to forward logs to CloudWatch Logs. By attaching an IAM role to the launch configuration or launch template that the Auto Scaling groups use, the security engineer can grant permissions to the EC2 instances that are launched by the Auto Scaling groups. By configuring the role to provide the necessary permissions, such as cloudwatch:PutLogEvents and cloudwatch:CreateLogStream, the security engineer can allow the EC2 instances to send log data to CloudWatch Logs.
