What should the Security Engineer do to accomplish this?

  1. Filter IAM CloudTrail logs for KeyRotaton events.
  2. Monitor Amazon CloudWatcn Events for any IAM KMS CMK rotation events.
  3. Using the IAM CLI. run the IAM kms gel-key-relation-status operation with the --key-id parameter to check the CMK rotation date.
  4. Use Amazon Athena to query IAM CloudTrail logs saved in an S3 bucket to filter Generate New Key events.

Explanation:

the aws kms get-key-rotation-status command returns a boolean value that indicates whether automatic rotation of the customer master key (CMK) is enabled1. This command also shows the date and time when the CMK was last rotated2. The other options are not valid ways to check the CMK rotation status.



A company needs a forensic-logging solution for hundreds of applications running in Docker on Amazon EC2 The solution must perform real-time analytics on the togs must support the replay of messages and must persist the logs.

Which IAM services should be used to meet these requirements? (Select TWO)

  2. Amazon Kinesis.
  3. Amazon SQS
  4. Amazon Elasticsearch.
  5. Amazon EMR

Answer(s): B,D

Amazon Kinesis and Amazon Elasticsearch are both suitable for forensic-logging solutions. Amazon Kinesis can collect, process, and analyze streaming data in real time3. Amazon Elasticsearch can store, search, and analyze log data using the popular open-source tool Elasticsearch. The other options are not designed for forensic-logging purposes.
