A company stores images for a website in an Amazon S3 bucket. The company is using Amazon CloudFront to serve the images to end users. The company recently discovered that the images are being accessed from countries where the company does not have a distribution license.
Which actions should the company take to secure the images to limit their distribution? (Choose two.)

  1. Update the S3 bucket policy to restrict access to a CloudFront origin access control (OAC).
  2. Update the website DNS record to use an Amazon Route 53 geolocation record deny list of countries where the company lacks a license.
  3. Add a CloudFront geo restriction deny list of countries where the company lacks a license.
  4. Update the S3 bucket policy with a deny list of countries where the company lacks a license.
  5. Enable the Restrict Viewer Access option in CloudFront to create a deny list of countries where the company lacks a license.

Answer(s): A,C



A company has deployed servers on Amazon EC2 instances in a VPC. External vendors access these servers over the internet. Recently, the company deployed a new application on EC2 instances in a new CIDR range. The company needs to make the application available to the vendors.
A security engineer verified that the associated security groups and network ACLs are allowing the required ports in the inbound direction. However, the vendors cannot connect to the application.
Which solution will provide the vendors access to the application?

  1. Modify the security group that is associated with the EC2 instances to have the same outbound rules as inbound rules.
  2. Modify the network ACL that is associated with the CIDR range to allow outbound traffic to ephemeral ports.
  3. Modify the inbound rules on the internet gateway to allow the required ports.
  4. Modify the network ACL that is associated with the CIDR range to have the same outbound rules as inbound rules.

Answer(s): B



A company uses infrastructure as code (IaC) to create AWS infrastructure. The company writes the code as AWS CloudFormation templates to deploy the infrastructure. The company has an existing CI/CD pipeline that the company can use to deploy these templates.
After a recent security audit, the company decides to adopt a policy-as-code approach to improve the company's security posture on AWS. The company must prevent the deployment of any infrastructure that would violate a security policy, such as an unencrypted Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume.
Which solution will meet these requirements?

  1. Turn on AWS Trusted Advisor. Configure security notifications as webhooks in the preferences section of the CI/CD pipeline.
  2. Turn on AWS Config. Use the prebuilt rules or customized rules. Subscribe tile CI/CD pipeline to an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic that receives notifications from AWS Config.
  3. Create rule sets in AWS CloudFormation Guard. Run validation checks for CloudFormation templates as a phase of the CI/CD process.
  4. Create rule sets as SCPs. Integrate the SCPs as a part of validation control in a phase of the CI/CD process.

Answer(s): C



A company is running an Amazon RDS for MySQL DB instance in a VPC. The VPC must not send or receive network traffic through the internet.
A security engineer wants to use AWS Secrets Manager to rotate the DB instance credentials automatically. Because of a security policy, the security engineer cannot use the standard AWS Lambda function that Secrets Manager provides to rotate the credentials.
The security engineer deploys a custom Lambda function in the VPC. The custom Lambda function will be responsible for rotating the secret in Secrets Manager. The security engineer edits the DB instance's security group to allow connections from this function. When the function is invoked, the function cannot communicate with Secrets Manager to rotate the secret properly.
What should the security engineer do so that the function can rotate the secret?

  1. Add an egress-only internet gateway to the VPC. Allow only the Lambda function's subnet to route traffic through the egress-only internet gateway.
  2. Add a NAT gateway to the VPC. Configure only the Lambda function's subnet with a default route through the NAT gateway.
  3. Configure a VPC peering connection to the default VPC for Secrets Manager. Configure the Lambda function's subnet to use the peering connection for routes.
  4. Configure a Secrets Manager interface VPC endpoint. Include the Lambda function's private subnet during the configuration process.

Answer(s): D



The security engineer is managing a traditional three-tier web application that is running on Amazon EC2 instances. The application has become the target of increasing numbers of malicious attacks from the internet.
What steps should the security engineer take to check for known vulnerabilities and limit the attack surface? (Choose two.)

  1. Use AWS Certificate Manager to encrypt all traffic between the client and application servers.
  2. Review the application security groups to ensure that only the necessary ports are open.
  3. Use Elastic Load Balancing to offload Secure Sockets Layer encryption.
  4. Use Amazon Inspector to periodically scan the backend instances.
  5. Use AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) to encrypt all the traffic between the client and application servers.

Answer(s): B,D
