Amazon Web Services SAA-C03 Dumps Questions Answers

Amazon Inspector is an automated security assessment service that helps improve the security and compliance of applications deployed on AWS. Amazon Inspector automatically assesses applications for exposure, vulnerabilities, and deviations from best practices. After performing an assessment, Amazon Inspector produces a detailed list of security findings prioritized by level of severity1. Amazon Inspector can scan the EC2 instances for software vulnerabilities and provide a report of each instance’s patch status. AWS Systems Manager Patch Manager is a capability of AWS Systems Manager that automates the process of patching managed nodes with both security-related updates and other types of updates. Patch Manager uses patch baselines, which include rules for auto-approving patches within days of their release, in addition to optional lists of approved and rejected patches. Patch Manager can patch fleets of Amazon EC2 instances, edge devices, on-premises servers, and virtual machines (VMs) by operating system type2. PatchManager can patch the EC2 instances on a regular schedule and provide a report of each instance’s patch status. Therefore, the combination of Amazon Inspector and AWS Systems Manager Patch Manager will meet the requirements of the question.

The other options are not valid because:

Amazon Macie is a security service that uses machine learning to automatically discover, classify, and protect sensitive data in AWS. Amazon Macie does not scan the EC2 instances for software vulnerabilities, but rather for data classification and protection3. A cron job is a Linux command for scheduling a task to be executed sometime in the future. A cron job is not a reliable way to patch the EC2 instances on a regular schedule, as it may fail or be interrupted by other processes4.

Amazon GuardDuty is a threat detection service that continuously monitors for malicious activity and unauthorized behavior to protect your AWS accounts and workloads. Amazon GuardDuty does not scan the EC2 instances for software vulnerabilities, but rather for network and API activity anomalies5. AWS Systems Manager Session Manager is a fully managed AWS Systems Manager capability that lets you manage your Amazon EC2 instances, edge devices, on-premises servers, and virtual machines (VMs) through an interactive one-click browser-based shell or the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI). Session Manager does not patch theEC2 instances on a regular schedule, but rather provides secure and auditable node management2.

Amazon Detective is a security service that makes it easy to analyze, investigate, and quickly identify the root cause of potential security issues or suspicious activities. Amazon Detective does not scan the EC2 instances for software vulnerabilities, but rather collects and analyzes data from AWS sources such as Amazon GuardDuty, Amazon VPC Flow Logs, and AWS CloudTrail. Amazon EventBridge is a serverless event bus that makes it easy to connect applications using data from your own applications, integrated Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications, and AWS services. EventBridge delivers a stream of real-time data from event sources, such as Zendesk, Datadog, or Pagerduty, and routes that data to targets like AWS Lambda. EventBridge does not patch the EC2 instances on a regular schedule, but rather triggers actions based on events.

AWS Control Tower is a fully managed service that simplifies the setup and governance of a secure, compliant, multi-account AWS environment. It establishes a landing zone that is based on best-practices blueprints, and it enables governance using controls you can choose from a pre-packaged list. The landing zone is a well-architected, multi-account baseline that follows AWS best practices. Controls implement governance rules for security, compliance, and operations. AWS Security Hub is a service that provides a comprehensive view of your security posture across your AWS accounts. It aggregates, organizes, and prioritizes security alerts and findings from multiple AWS services, such as Amazon GuardDuty, Amazon Inspector, Amazon Macie, AWS Firewall Manager, and AWS IAM Access Analyzer, as well as from AWS Partner solutions. AWS Security Hub continuously monitors your environment using automatedcompliance checks based on the AWS best practices and industry standards, such as the AWS Foundational Security Best Practices (FSBP) standard. AWS Control Tower Account Factory is a feature that automates the provisioning of new AWS accounts that are preconfigured to meet your business, security, and compliance requirements. By deploying an AWS Control Tower environment in the Organizations management account, you can leverage the existing organization structure and policies, and enable AWS Security Hub and AWS Control Tower Account Factory in the environment. This way, you can audit all API calls and logins in any existing or new AWS account, monitor the compliance status of each account with the FSBP standard, and provision new accounts with ease and consistency. This solution meets the requirements with the least operational overhead, as you do not need to manage any infrastructure, perform any data migration, or submit any requests for changes.

This option is the only solution that meets the requirements because it allows the company to encrypt the data with its own encryption keys and tools outside the AWS Cloud. By encrypting the data at the company’s data center before storing the data in the S3 bucket, the company can ensure that the data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and that the company has full control over the encryption keys and processes. This option also avoids the need to use any AWS encryption services or features, which may not be compatible with the company’s security policies or compliance standards.

A. Encrypt the data in the S3 bucket with server-side encryption (SSE) that uses an AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) customer managed key. This option does not meet the requirements because it does not allow the company to manage the encryption keys outside the AWS Cloud. Although the company can create and use its own customer managed key in AWSKMS, the key is still stored and managed by AWS KMS, which is a service within the AWS Cloud. Moreover, the company still needs to use the AWS encryption features and APIs to encrypt and decrypt the data in the S3 bucket, which may not be compatible with the company’s security policies or compliance standards.

B. Encrypt the data in the S3 bucket with server-side encryption (SSE) that uses an AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) AWS managed key. This option does not meet the requirements because it does not allow the company to manage the encryption keys outside the AWS Cloud. In this option, the company uses the default AWS managed key in AWS KMS, which is created and managed by AWS on behalf of the company. The company has no control over the key rotation, deletion, or recovery policies. Moreover, the company still needs to use the AWS encryption features and APIs to encrypt and decrypt the data in the S3 bucket, which may not be compatible with the company’s security policies or compliance standards.

C. Encrypt the data in the S3 bucket with the default server-side encryption (SSE). This option does not meet the requirements because it does not allow the company to manage the encryption keys outside the AWS Cloud. In this option, the company uses the default server-side encryption with Amazon S3 managed keys (SSE-S3), which is applied to every bucket in Amazon S3. The company has no visibility or control over the encryption keys, which are managed by Amazon S3. Moreover, the company still needs to use the AWS encryption features and APIs to encrypt and decrypt the data in the S3 bucket, which may not be compatible with the company’s security policies or compliance standards.
