Question # 54

An Amazon API Gateway API invokes an AWS Lambda function that needs to interact with a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform. A unique client token is generated in the SaaS platform to grant access to the Lambda function. A security engineer needs to design a solution to encrypt the access token at rest and pass the token to the Lambda function at runtime.

Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

Options:

A.

Store the client token as a secret in AWS Secrets Manager. Use th^AWS SDK to retneve the secret in the Lambda function.

B.

Configure a token-based Lambda authorizer in API Gateway.

C.

Store the client token as a SecureString parameter in AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store. Use the AWS SDK to retrieve the value of the SecureString parameter in the Lambda function.

D.

Use AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) to encrypt the client token. Pass the token to the Lambda function at runtime through an environment variable.

Question # 55

A security engineer receives a notice from the AWS Abuse team about suspicious activity from a Linux-based Amazon EC2 instance that uses Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS>-based storage The instance is making connections to known malicious addresses

The instance is in a development account within a VPC that is in the us-east-1 Region The VPC contains an internet gateway and has a subnet in us-east-1a and us-easMb Each subnet is associate with a route table that uses the internet gateway as a default route Each subnet also uses the default network ACL The suspicious EC2 instance runs within the us-east-1 b subnet. During an initial investigation a security engineer discovers that the suspicious instance is the only instance that runs in the subnet

Which response will immediately mitigate the attack and help investigate the root cause?

Options:

A.

Log in to the suspicious instance and use the netstat command to identify remote connections Use the IP addresses from these remote connections to create deny rules in the security group of the instance Install diagnostic tools on the instance for investigation Update the outbound network ACL for the subnet in us-east- lb to explicitly deny all connections as the first rule during the investigation of the instance

B.

Update the outbound network ACL for the subnet in us-east-1b to explicitly deny all connections as the first rule Replace the security group with a new security group that allows connections only from a diagnostics security group Update the outbound network ACL for the us-east-1b subnet to remove the deny all rule Launch a new EC2 instance that has diagnostic tools Assign the new security group to the new EC2 instance Use the new EC2 instan

C.

Ensure that the Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes that are attached to the suspicious EC2 instance will not delete upon termination Terminate the instance Launch a new EC2 instance in us-east-1a that has diagnostic tools Mount the EBS volumes from the terminated instance for investigation

D.

Create an AWS WAF web ACL that denies traffic to and from the suspicious instance Attach the AWS WAF web ACL to the instance to mitigate the attack Log in to the instance and install diagnostic tools to investigate the instance

Question # 56

A security engineer receives an IAM abuse email message. According to the message, an Amazon EC2 instance that is running in the security engineer's IAM account is sending phishing email messages.

The EC2 instance is part of an application that is deployed in production. The application runs on many EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer. The instances run in an AmazonEC2 Auto Scaling group across multiple subnets and multiple Availability Zones.

The instances normally communicate only over the HTTP. HTTPS, and MySQL protocols. Upon investigation, the security engineer discovers that email messages are being sent over port 587. All other traffic is normal.

The security engineer must create a solution that contains the compromised EC2 instance, preserves forensic evidence for analysis, and minimizes application downtime. Which combination of steps must the security engineer take to meet these requirements? (Select THREE.)

Options:

A.

Add an outbound rule to the security group that is attached to the compromised EC2 instance to deny traffic to 0.0.0.0/0 and port 587.

B.

Add an outbound rule to the network ACL for the subnet that contains the compromised EC2 instance to deny traffic to 0.0.0.0/0 and port 587.

C.

Gather volatile memory from the compromised EC2 instance. Suspend the compromised EC2 instance from the Auto Scaling group. Then take a snapshot of the compromised EC2 instance. v

D.

Take a snapshot of the compromised EC2 instance. Suspend the compromised EC2 instance from the Auto Scaling group. Then gather volatile memory from the compromised EC2 instance.

E.

Move the compromised EC2 instance to an isolated subnet that has a network ACL that has no inbound rules or outbound rules.

F.

Replace the existing security group that is attached to the compromised EC2 instance with a new security group that has no inbound rules or outbound rules.

E.

Create an 1AM policy that includes a condition for minimum password length Enforce the policy for 1AM and Cognito

Question # 59

A company is operating a website using Amazon CloudFornt. CloudFront servers some content from Amazon S3 and other from web servers running EC2 instances behind an Application. Load Balancer (ALB). Amazon DynamoDB is used as the data store. The company already uses IAM Certificate Manager (ACM) to store a public TLS certificate that can optionally secure connections between the website users and CloudFront. The company has a new requirement to enforce end-to-end encryption in transit.

Which combination of steps should the company take to meet this requirement? (Select THREE.)

Options:

A.

Update the CloudFront distribution. configuring it to optionally use HTTPS when connecting to origins on Amazon S3

B.

Update the web application configuration on the web servers to use HTTPS instead of HTTP when connecting to DynamoDB

C.

Update the CloudFront distribution to redirect HTTP corrections to HTTPS

D.

Configure the web servers on the EC2 instances to listen using HTTPS using the public ACM TLS certificate Update the ALB to connect to the target group using HTTPS

E.

Update the ALB listen to listen using HTTPS using the public ACM TLS certificate. Update the CloudFront distribution to connect to the HTTPS listener.

F.

Create a TLS certificate Configure the web servers on the EC2 instances to use HTTPS only with that certificate. Update the ALB to connect to the target group using HTTPS.
