A company has several critical applications running on a large fleet of Amazon EC2 instances. As part of a security operations review, the company needs to apply a critical operating system patch to EC2 instances within 24 hours of the patch becoming available from the operating system vendor. The company does not have a patching solution deployed on IAM, but does have IAM Systems Manager configured. The solution must also minimize administrative overhead.

What should a security engineer recommend to meet these requirements?

  1. Create an IAM Config rule defining the patch as a required configuration for EC2 instances.
  2. Use the IAM Systems Manager Run Command to patch affected instances.
  3. Use an IAM Systems Manager Patch Manager predefined baseline to patch affected instances.
  4. Use IAM Systems Manager Session Manager to log in to each affected instance and apply the patch.

Answer(s): B



A company recently performed an annual security assessment of its IAM environment. The assessment showed that audit logs are not available beyond 90 days and that unauthorized changes to IAM policies are made without detection.

How should a security engineer resolve these issues?

  1. Create an Amazon S3 lifecycle policy that archives IAM CloudTrail trail logs to Amazon S3 Glacier after 90 days. Configure Amazon Inspector to provide a notification when a policy change is made to resources.
  2. Configure IAM Artifact to archive IAM CloudTrail logs Configure IAM Trusted Advisor to provide a notification when a policy change is made to resources.
  3. Configure Amazon CloudWatch to export log groups to Amazon S3. Configure IAM CloudTrail to provide a notification when a policy change is made to resources.
  4. Create an IAM CloudTrail trail that stores audit logs in Amazon S3. Configure an IAM Config rule to provide a notification when a policy change is made to resources.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

"For an ongoing record of events in your IAM account, you must create a trail. Although CloudTrail provides 90 days of event history information for management events in the CloudTrail console without creating a trail, it is not a permanent record, and it does not provide information about all possible types of events. For an ongoing record, and for a record that contains all the event types you specify, you must create a trail, which delivers log files to an Amazon S3 bucket that you specify."

A company's application runs on Amazon EC2 and stores data in an Amazon S3 bucket The company wants additional security controls in place to limit the likelihood of accidental exposure of data to external parties

Which combination of actions will meet this requirement? (Select THREE.)

  1. Encrypt the data in Amazon S3 using server-side encryption with Amazon S3 managed encryption keys (SSE-S3)
  2. Encrypt the data in Amazon S3 using server-side encryption with IAM KMS managed encryption keys (SSE-KMS)
  3. Create a new Amazon S3 VPC endpoint and modify the VPC's routing tables to use the new endpoint
  4. Use the Amazon S3 Block Public Access feature.
  5. Configure the bucket policy to allow access from the application instances only
  6. Use a NACL to filter traffic to Amazon S3

Answer(s): B,C,E



A security engineer must use IAM Key Management Service (IAM KMS) to design a key management solution for a set of Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes that contain sensitive data. The solution needs to ensure that the key material automatically expires in 90 days.

Which solution meets these criteria?

  1. A customer managed CMK that uses customer provided key material
  2. A customer managed CMK that uses IAM provided key material
  3. An IAM managed CMK
  4. Operating system-native encryption that uses GnuPG

Answer(s): B
