QUESTION: 29

A team is using AWS Secrets Manager to store an application database password. Only a limited number of IAM principals within the account can have access to the secret. The principals who require access to the secret change frequently. A security engineer must create a solution that maximizes flexibility and scalability.
Which solution will meet these requirements?

Use a role-based approach by creating an IAM role with an inline permissions policy that allows access to the secret. Update the IAM principals in the role trust policy as required.
Deploy a VPC endpoint for Secrets Manager. Create and attach an endpoint policy that specifies the IAM principals that are allowed to access the secret. Update the list of IAM principals as required.
Use a tag-based approach by attaching a resource policy to the secret. Apply tags to the secret and the IAM principals. Use the aws:PrincipalTag and aws:ResourceTag IAM condition keys to control access.
Use a deny-by-default approach by using IAM policies to deny access to the secret explicitly. Attach the policies to an IAM group. Add all IAM principals to the IAM group. Remove principals from the group when they need access. Add the principals to the group again when access is no longer allowed.

A company has hundreds of AWS accounts in an organization in AWS Organizations. The company operates out of a single AWS Region. The company has a dedicated security tooling AWS account in the organization. The security tooling account is configured as the organization's delegated administrator for Amazon GuardDuty and AWS Security Hub. The company has configured the environment to automatically enable GuardDuty and Security Hub for existing AWS accounts and new AWS accounts.
The company is performing control tests on specific GuardDuty findings to make sure that the company's security team can detect and respond to security events. The security team launched an Amazon EC2 instance and attempted to run DNS requests against a test domain, example.com, to generate a DNS finding. However, the GuardDuty finding was never created in the Security Hub delegated administrator account.
Why was the finding was not created in the Security Hub delegated administrator account?

VPC flow logs were not turned on for the VPC where the EC2 instance was launched.
The VPC where the EC2 instance was launched had the DHCP option configured for a custom OpenDNS resolver.
The GuardDuty integration with Security Hub was never activated in the AWS account where the finding was generated.

QUESTION: 32

An ecommerce company has a web application architecture that runs primarily on containers. The application containers are deployed on Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS). The container images for the application are stored in Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR).
The company's security team is performing an audit of components of the application architecture. The security team identifies issues with some container images that are stored in the container repositories.
The security team wants to address these issues by implementing continual scanning and on-push scanning of the container images. The security team needs to implement a solution that makes any findings from these scans visible in a centralized dashboard. The security team plans to use the dashboard to view these findings along with other security-related findings that they intend to generate in the future. There are specific repositories that the security team needs to exclude from the scanning process.
Which solution will meet these requirements?

Use Amazon Inspector. Create inclusion rules in Amazon ECR to match repositories that need to be scanned. Push Amazon Inspector findings to AWS Security Hub.
Use ECR basic scanning of container images. Create inclusion rules in Amazon ECR to match repositories that need to be scanned. Push findings to AWS Security Hub.
Use ECR basic scanning of container images. Create inclusion rules in Amazon ECR to match repositories that need to be scanned. Push findings to Amazon Inspector.
Use Amazon Inspector. Create inclusion rules in Amazon Inspector to match repositories that need to be scanned. Push Amazon Inspector findings to AWS Config.
