AWS Certified Security - Specialty SCS-C02 Exam - Question 33


A company has a single AWS account and uses an Amazon EC2 instance to test application code. The company recently discovered that the instance was compromised. The instance was serving up malware. The analysis of the instance showed that the instance was compromised 35 days ago.

A security engineer must implement a continuous monitoring solution that automatically notifies the company's security team about compromised instances through an email distribution list for high severity findings. The security engineer must implement the solution as soon as possible.

Which combination of steps should the security engineer take to meet these requirements? (Choose three.)

Show Answer
Correct Answer: BCE

To meet the requirement of continuous monitoring and automatic notification for compromised instances, the following steps need to be taken. First, enabling Amazon GuardDuty in the AWS account is crucial as it provides intelligent threat detection and continuous security monitoring. Second, creating an Amazon SNS topic and subscribing the security team's email distribution list to it ensures that high severity findings are promptly communicated. Lastly, creating an Amazon EventBridge rule for GuardDuty findings of high severity and configuring the rule to publish a message to the SNS topic facilitates the automatic notification process, triggering alerts to the security team.
