A Security Engineer noticed an anomaly within a company EC2 instance as shown in the image. The Engineer must now investigate what e causing the anomaly. What are the MOST effective steps to take lo ensure that the instance is not further manipulated while allowing the Engineer to understand what happened?

  1. Remove the instance from the Auto Scaling group Place the instance within an isolation security group, detach the EBS volume launch an EC2 instance with a forensic toolkit and attach the E8S volume to investigate
  2. Remove the instance from the Auto Scaling group and the Elastic Load Balancer Place the instance within an isolation security group, launch an EC2 instance with a forensic toolkit, and allow the forensic toolkit image to connect to the suspicious Instance to perform the Investigation.
  3. Remove the instance from the Auto Scaling group Place the Instance within an isolation security group, launch an EC2 Instance with a forensic toolkit and use the forensic toolkit imago to deploy an ENI as a network span port to inspect all traffic coming from the suspicious instance.
  4. Remove the instance from the Auto Scaling group and the Elastic Load Balancer Place the instance within an isolation security group, make a copy of the EBS volume from a new snapshot, launch an EC2 Instance with a forensic toolkit and attach the copy of the EBS volume to investigate.

Answer(s): B



A global company that deals with International finance is investing heavily in cryptocurrencies and wants to experiment with mining technologies using IAM. The company's security team has enabled Amazon GuardDuty and is concerned by the number of findings being generated by the accounts. The security team wants to minimize the possibility of GuardDuty finding false negatives for compromised instances that are performing mining.

How can the security team continue using GuardDuty while meeting these requirements?

  1. In the GuardDuty console, select the CryptoCurrency:EC2/BitcoinTool B'DNS finding and use the suppress findings option
  2. Create a custom IAM Lambda function to process newly detected GuardDuty alerts Process the CryptoCurrency EC2/BitcoinTool BIDNS alert and filter out the high-severity finding types only.
  3. When creating a new Amazon EC2 Instance, provide the instance with a specific tag that indicates it is performing mining operations Create a custom IAM Lambda function to process newly detected GuardDuty alerts and filter for the presence of this tag
  4. When GuardDuty produces a cryptocurrency finding, process the finding with a custom IAM Lambda function to extract the instance ID from the finding Then use the IAM Systems Manager Run Command to check for a running process performing mining operations

Answer(s): A



A company has multiple production IAM accounts. Each account has IAM CloudTrail configured to log to a single Amazon S3 bucket in a central account. Two of the production accounts have trails that are not logging anything to the S3 bucket.

Which steps should be taken to troubleshoot the issue? (Choose three.)

  1. Verify that the log file prefix is set to the name of the S3 bucket where the logs should go.
  2. Verify that the S3 bucket policy allows access for CloudTrail from the production IAM account IDs.
  3. Create a new CloudTrail configuration in the account, and configure it to log to the account's S3 bucket.
  4. Confirm in the CloudTrail Console that each trail is active and healthy.
  5. Open the global CloudTrail configuration in the master account, and verify that the storage location is set to the correct S3 bucket.
  6. Confirm in the CloudTrail Console that the S3 bucket name is set correctly.

Answer(s): B,D,F



A Security Engineer is looking for a way to control access to data that is being encrypted under a CMK. The Engineer is also looking to use additional authenticated data (AAD) to prevent tampering with ciphertext.

Which action would provide the required functionality?

  1. Pass the key alias to IAM KMS when calling Encrypt and Decrypt API actions.
  2. Use IAM policies to restrict access to Encrypt and Decrypt API actions.
  3. Use kms:EncryptionContext as a condition when defining IAM policies for the CMK.
  4. Use key policies to restrict access to the appropriate IAM groups.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

One of the most important and critical concepts in IAM Key Management Service (KMS) for advanced and secure data usage is EncryptionContext. Using EncryptionContext properly can help significantly improve the security of your applications. EncryptionContext is a key- value map (both strings) that is provided to KMS with each encryption and decryption request. EncryptionContext provides three benefits: Additional authenticated data (AAD), Audit trail, Authorization context.

A Security Engineer has several thousand Amazon EC2 instances split across production and development environments. Each instance is tagged with its environment. The Engineer needs to analyze and patch all the development EC2 instances to ensure they are not currently exposed to any common vulnerabilities or exposures (CVEs).

Which combination of steps is the MOST efficient way for the Engineer to meet these requirements? (Select TWO.)

  1. Log on to each EC2 instance, check and export the different software versions installed, and verify this against a list of current CVEs.
  2. Install the Amazon Inspector agent on all development instances Build a custom rule package, and configure Inspector to perform a scan using this custom rule on all instancestagged as being in the development environment.
  3. Install the Amazon Inspector agent on all development instances Configure Inspector to perform a scan using the CVE rule package on all instances tagged as being in the development environment.
  4. Install the Amazon EC2 System Manager agent on all development instances Issue the Run command to EC2 System Manager to update all instances
  5. Use IAM Trusted Advisor to check that all EC2 instances have been patched to the most recent version of operating system and installed software.

Answer(s): C,D

q14 is b&c to reduce you will switch off mail for every single alert and you will switch on daily digest to get a mail once per day, you might even skip the empty digest mail but i see this as a part of the daily digest adjustment

question 8 - can cloudtrail be used for storing jobs? based on aws - aws cloudtrail is used for governance, compliance and investigating api usage across all of our aws accounts. every action that is taken by a user or script is an api call so this is logged to [aws] cloudtrail. something seems incorrect here.
