An organization must establish the ability to delete an IAM KMS Customer Master Key (CMK) within a 24-hour timeframe to keep it from being used for encrypt or decrypt operations Which of tne following actions will address this requirement?
A company plans to use AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) to implement an encryption strategy to protect data at rest. The company requires client-side encryption for company projects. The company is currently conducting multiple projects to test the company's use of AWS KMS. These tests have led to a sudden increase in the company's AWS resource consumption. The test projects include applications that issue multiple requests each second to KMS endpoints for encryption activities.
The company needs to develop a solution that does not throttle the company's ability to use AWS KMS. The solution must improve key usage for client-side
encryption and must be cost optimized.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
A company runs a cron job on an Amazon EC2 instance on a predefined schedule. The cron job calls a bash script that encrypts a 2 KB file. A security engineer creates an AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) customer managed key with a key policy. The key policy and the EC2 instance role have the necessary configuration for this job.
Which process should the bash script use to encrypt the file?
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.)
A company has an AWS account that hosts a production application. The company receives an email notification that Amazon GuardDuty has detected an Impact:lAMUser/AnomalousBehavior finding in the account. A security engineer needs to run the investigation playbook for this security incident and must collect and analyze the information without affecting the application.
Which solution will meet these requirements MOST quickly?
A company created an IAM account for its developers to use for testing and learning purposes Because MM account will be shared among multiple teams of developers, the company wants to restrict the ability to stop and terminate Amazon EC2 instances so that a team can perform these actions only on the instances it owns.
Developers were Instructed to tag al their instances with a Team tag key and use the team name in the tag value One of the first teams to use this account is Business Intelligence A security engineer needs to develop a highly scalable solution for providing developers with access to the appropriate resources within the account The security engineer has already created individual IAM roles for each team.
Which additional configuration steps should the security engineer take to complete the task?
A company has AWS accounts that are in an organization in AWS Organizations. A security engineer needs to set up AWS Security Hub in a dedicated account for securitymonitoring.
The security engineer must ensure that Security Hub automatically manages all existing accounts and all new accounts that are added to the organization. Security Hubalso must receive findings from all AWS Regions.
Which combination of actions will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead? (Select TWO.)
A company's network security policy requires encryption for all data in transit. The company must encrypt data that is sent between Amazon EC2 instances and Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes.
A company runs workloads in the us-east-1 Region. The company has never deployed resources to other AWS Regions and does not have any multi-Region resources.
The company needs to replicate its workloads and infrastructure to the us-west-1 Region.
A security engineer must implement a solution that uses AWS Secrets Manager to store secrets in both Regions. The solution must use AWS Key Management Service(AWS KMS) to encrypt the secrets. The solution must minimize latency and must be able to work if only one Region is available.
The security engineer uses Secrets Manager to create the secrets in us-east-1.
What should the security engineer do next to meet the requirements?
A security engineer is designing an IAM policy for a script that will use the AWS CLI. The script currently assumes an IAM role that is attached to three AWS managed IAM policies: AmazonEC2FullAccess, AmazonDynamoDBFullAccess, and Ama-zonVPCFullAccess.
The security engineer needs to construct a least privilege IAM policy that will replace the AWS managed IAM policies that are attached to this role.
Which solution will meet these requirements in the MOST operationally efficient way?
