A company uses SAML federation with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to provide internal users with SSO for their AWS accounts. The company's identity provider certificate was rotated as part of its normal lifecycle Shortly after users started receiving the following error when attempting to log in:
“Error: Response Signature Invalid (Service: AWSSecurityTokenService; Status Code: 400; Error Code: InvalidIdentityToken)”
A security engineer needs to address the immediate issue and ensure that it will not occur again. Which combination of steps should the security engineer take to accomplish this? (Choose two.)

  1. Download a new copy of the SAML metadata file from the identity provider. Create a new IAM identity provider entity. Upload the new metadata file to the new IAM identity provider entity.
  2. During the next certificate rotation period and before the current certificate expires, add a new certificate as the secondary to the identity provider. Generate a new metadata file and upload it to the IAM identity provider entity. Perform automated or manual rotation of the certificate when required.
  3. Download a new copy of the SAML metadata file from the identity provider. Upload the new metadata to the IAM identity provider entity configured for the SAML integration in question.
  4. During the next certificate rotation period and before the current certificate expires, add a new certificate as the secondary to the identity provider. Generate a new copy of the metadata file and create a new IAM identity provider entity. Upload the metadata file to the new IAM identity provider entity. Perform automated or manual rotation of the certificate when required.
  5. Download a new copy of the SAML metadata file from the identity provider. Create a new IAM identity provider entity. Upload the new metadata file to the new IAM identity provider entity. Update the identity provider configurations to pass a new IAM identity provider entity name in the SAML assertion.

Answer(s): B,C



A company is implementing a new application in a new AWS account. A VPC and subnets have been created for the application. The application has been peered to an existing VPC in another account in the same AWS Region for database access Amazon EC2 instances will regularly be created and terminated in the application VPC, but only some of them will need access to the databases in the peered VPC over TCP port 1521. A security engineer must ensure that only the EC2 instances that need access to the databases can access them through the network.
How can the security engineer implement this solution?

  1. Create a new security group in the database VPC and create an inbound rule that allows all traffic from the IP address range of the application VPC. Add a new network ACL rule on the database subnets. Configure the rule to TCP port 1521 from the IP address range of the application VPC. Attach the new security group to the database instances that the application instances need to access.
  2. Create a new security group in the application VPC with an inbound rule that allows the IP address range of the database VPC over TCP port 1521. Create a new security group in the database VPC with an inbound rule that allows the IP address range of the application VPC over port 1521. Attach the new security group to the database instances and the application instances that need database access.
  3. Create a new security group in the application VPC with no inbound rules. Create a new security group in the database VPC with an inbound rule that allows TCP port 1521 from the new application security group in the application VPAttach the application security group to the application instances that need database access and attach the database security group to the database instances.
  4. Create a new security group in the application VPC with an inbound rule that allows the IP address range of the database VPC over TCP port 1521. Add a new network ACL rule on the database subnets. Configure the rule to allow all traffic from the IP address range of the application VPC. Attach the new security group to the application instances that need database access.

Answer(s): C



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 logs, must support the replay of messages, and must persist the logs.
Which AWS services should be used to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

  1. Amazon Athena
  2. Amazon Kinesis
  3. Amazon SQS
  4. Amazon OpenSearch Service
  5. Amazon EMR

Answer(s): B,D



A company has many member accounts in an organization in AWS Organizations. The company is concerned about the potential for misuse of the AWS account root user credentials for member accounts in the organization. To address this potential misuse, the company wants to ensure that even if the account root user credentials are compromised the account is still protected.
Which solution will meet this requirement?

  1. Block service access by using SCPs for the root user
  2. Remove the password for the root user
  3. Delete access keys for the root user
  4. Create an Amazon EventBridge rule to detect any AWS account root user API events

Answer(s): A



An Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group launches Amazon Linux EC2 instances and installs the Amazon CloudWatch agent to publish logs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs. The EC2 instances launch with an IAM role that has an IAM policy attached. The policy provides access to publish custom metrics to CloudWatch. The EC2 instances run in a private subnet inside a VPC The VPC provides access to the internet for private subnets through a NAT gateway.
A security engineer notices that no logs are being published to CloudWatch Logs for the EC2 instances that the Auto Scaling group launches. The security engineer validates that the CloudWatch Logs agent is running and is configured properly on the EC2 instances. In addition, the security engineer validates that network communications are working properly to AWS services.
What can the security engineer do to ensure that the logs are published to CloudWatch Logs?

  1. Configure the IAM policy in use by the IAM role to have access to the required cloudwatch: API actions that will publish logs.
  2. Adjust the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling service-linked role to have permissions to write to CloudWatch Logs.
  3. Configure the IAM policy in use by the IAM role to have access to the required AWS logs: API actions that will publish logs.
  4. Add an interface VPC endpoint to provide a route to CloudWatch Logs.
