QUESTION: 35

A company is using AWS Organizations to manage multiple AWS accounts for its human resources, finance, software development, and production departments. All the company's developers are part of the software development AWS account.
The company discovers that developers have launched Amazon EC2 instances that were preconfigured with software that the company has not approved for use. The company wants to implement a solution to ensure that developers can launch EC2 instances with only approved software applications and only in the software development AWS account.
Which solution will meet these requirements?

In the software development account, create AMIs of preconfigured instances that include only approved software. Include the AMI IDs in the condition section of an AWS CloudFormation template to launch the appropriate AMI based on the AWS Region. Provide the developers with the CloudFormation template to launch EC2 instances in the software development account.
Create an Amazon EventBridge rule that runs when any EC2 RunInstances API event occurs in the software development account. Specify AWS Systems Manager Run Command as a target of the rule. Configure Run Command to run a script that will install all approved software onto the instances that the developers launch.
Use an AWS Service Catalog portfolio that contains EC2 products with appropriate AMIs that include only approved software. Grant the developers permission to access only the Service Catalog portfolio to launch a product in the software development account.
In the management account, create AMIs of preconfigured instances that include only approved software. Use AWS CloudFormation StackSets to launch the AMIs across any AWS account in the organization. Grant the developers permission to launch the stack sets within the management account.

QUESTION: 36

A company has enabled Amazon GuardDuty in all AWS Regions as part of its security monitoring strategy. In one of its VPCs, the company hosts an Amazon EC2 instance that works as an FTP server. A high number of clients from multiple locations contact the FTP server. GuardDuty identifies this activity as a brute force attack because of the high number of connections that happen every hour.
The company has flagged the finding as a false positive, but GuardDuty continues to raise the issue. A security engineer must improve the signal-to-noise ratio without compromising the company's visibility of potential anomalous behavior.
Which solution will meet these requirements?

Disable the FTP rule in GuardDuty in the Region where the FTP server is deployed.
Add the FTP server to a trusted IP list. Deploy the list to GuardDuty to stop receiving the notifications.
Create a suppression rule in GuardDuty to filter findings by automatically archiving new findings that match the specified criteria.
Create an AWS Lambda function that has the appropriate permissions to delete the finding whenever a new occurrence is reported.

QUESTION: 37

A company is running internal microservices on Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) with the Amazon EC2 launch type. The company is using Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR) private repositories.
A security engineer needs to encrypt the private repositories by using AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS). The security engineer also needs to analyze the container images for any common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs).
Which solution will meet these requirements?

Enable KMS encryption on the existing ECR repositories. Install Amazon Inspector Agent from the ECS container instances’ user data. Run an assessment with the CVE rules.
Recreate the ECR repositories with KMS encryption and ECR scanning enabled. Analyze the scan report after the next push of images.
Recreate the ECR repositories with KMS encryption and ECR scanning enabled. Install AWS Systems Manager Agent on the ECS container instances. Run an inventory report.
Enable KMS encryption on the existing ECR repositories. Use AWS Trusted Advisor to check the ECS container instances and to verify the findings against a list of current CVEs.

QUESTION: 38

A company's security engineer has been tasked with restricting a contractor's IAM account access to the company’s Amazon EC2 console without providing access to any other AWS services. The contractor's IAM account must not be able to gain access to any other AWS service, even if the IAM account is assigned additional permissions based on IAM group membership.
What should the security engineer do to meet these requirements?

Create an inline IAM user policy that allows for Amazon EC2 access for the contractor's IAM user.
Create an IAM permissions boundary policy that allows Amazon EC2 access. Associate the contractor's IAM account with the IAM permissions boundary policy.
Create an IAM group with an attached policy that allows for Amazon EC2 access. Associate the contractor's IAM account with the IAM group.
Create a IAM role that allows for EC2 and explicitly denies all other services. Instruct the contractor to always assume this role.
