A security engineer has enabled IAM Security Hub in their IAM account, and has enabled the Center for internet Security (CIS) IAM Foundations compliance standard. No evaluation results on compliance are returned in the Security Hub console after several hours. The engineer wants to ensure that Security Hub can evaluate their resources for CIS IAM Foundations compliance.

Which steps should the security engineer take to meet these requirements?

  1. Add full Amazon Inspector IAM permissions to the Security Hub service role to allow it to perform the CIS compliance evaluation.
  2. Ensure that IAM Trusted Advisor Is enabled in the account and that the Security Hub service role has permissions to retrieve the Trusted Advisor security-related recommended actions.
  3. Ensure that IAM Config. is enabled in the account, and that the required IAM Config rules have been created for the CIS compliance evaluation.
  4. Ensure that the correct trail in IAM CloudTrail has been configured for monitoring by Security Hub and that the Security Hub service role has permissions to perform the GetObject operation on CloudTrails Amazon S3 bucket.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

To ensure that Security Hub can evaluate their resources for CIS AWS Foundations compliance, the security engineer should do the following:

Ensure that AWS Config is enabled in the account. This is a service that enables continuous assessment and audit of your AWS resources for compliance.

Ensure that the required AWS Config rules have been created for the CIS compliance evaluation. These are rules that represent your desired configuration settings for specific AWS resources or for an entire AWS account.



A developer 15 building a serverless application hosted on IAM that uses Amazon Redshift in a data store. The application has separate modules for read/write and read-only functionality. The modules need their own database users tor compliance reasons.

Which combination of steps should a security engineer implement to grant appropriate access' (Select TWO )

  1. Configure cluster security groups for each application module to control access to database users that are required for read-only and read/write.
  2. Configure a VPC endpoint for Amazon Redshift Configure an endpoint policy that maps database users to each application module, and allow access to the tables that are required for read-only and read/write.
  3. Configure an IAM poky for each module Specify the ARN of an Amazon Redshift database user that allows the GetClusterCredentials API call.
  4. Create focal database users for each module.
  5. Configure an IAM policy for each module Specify the ARN of an IAM user that allows the GetClusterCredentials API call.

Answer(s): C,D

Explanation:

To grant appropriate access to the application modules, the security engineer should do the following:

Configure an IAM policy for each module. Specify the ARN of an Amazon Redshift database user that allows the GetClusterCredentials API call. This allows the application modules to use temporary credentials to access the database with the permissions of the specified user.

Create local database users for each module. This allows the security engineer to create separate users for read/write and read-only functionality, and to assign them different privileges on the database tables.



A company uses an Amazon S3 bucket to store reports Management has mandated that all new objects stored in this bucket must be encrypted at rest using server-side encryption with a client-

specified IAM Key Management Service (IAM KMS) CMK owned by the same account as the S3 bucket. The IAM account number is 111122223333, and the bucket name Is report bucket. The company's security specialist must write the S3 bucket policy to ensure the mandate can be Implemented.

Which statement should the security specialist include in the policy?







Answer(s): D



A company's policy requires that all API keys be encrypted and stored separately from source code in a centralized security account. This security account is managed by the company's security team However, an audit revealed that an API key is steed with the source code of an IAM Lambda function m an IAM CodeCommit repository in the DevOps account.

How should the security learn securely store the API key?

  1. Create a CodeCommit repository in the security account using IAM Key Management Service (IAM KMS) tor encryption Require the development team to migrate the Lambda source code to this repository.
  2. Store the API key in an Amazon S3 bucket in the security account using server-side encryption with Amazon S3 managed encryption keys (SSE-S3) to encrypt the key Create a resigned URL tor the S3 key. and specify the URL m a Lambda environmental variable in the IAM CloudFormation template Update the Lambda function code to retrieve the key using the URL and call the API
  3. Create a secret in IAM Secrets Manager in the security account to store the API key using IAM Key Management Service (IAM KMS) tor encryption Grant access to the IAM role used by the Lambda function so that the function can retrieve the key from Secrets Manager and call the API
  4. Create an encrypted environment variable for the Lambda function to store the API key using IAM Key Management Service (IAM KMS) tor encryption Grant access to the IAM role used by the Lambda function so that the function can decrypt the key at runtime.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

To securely store the API key, the security team should do the following:

Create a secret in AWS Secrets Manager in the security account to store the API key using AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) for encryption. This allows the security team to encrypt and manage the API key centrally, and to configure automatic rotation schedules for it.

Grant access to the IAM role used by the Lambda function so that the function can retrieve the key from Secrets Manager and call the API. This allows the security team to avoid storing the API key with the source code, and to use IAM policies to control access to the secret.
