Topic #: 4
[All CLF-C02 Questions]

A social media company wants to protect its web application from common web exploits such as SQL injections and cross-site scripting. Which AWS service will meet these requirements?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

AWS WAF is a web application firewall service that helps protect web applications from common web exploits that could affect availability, compromise security, or consume excessive resources. AWS WAF gives you control over which traffic to allow or block to your web applications by defining customizable web security rules.You can use AWS WAF to create rules that block common attack patterns, such as SQL injection or cross-site scripting, and rules that filter out specific traffic patterns you define1.AWS WAF also integrates with other AWS services, such as Amazon CloudFront, Amazon API Gateway, AWS AppSync, and AWS Load Balancer, to provide a comprehensive defense against web attacks2. Therefore, AWS WAF meets the requirements of the social media company, compared to the other options.

The other options are not suitable for the social media company's requirements, because:

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.However, Amazon Inspector does not provide a web application firewall service that can block malicious web requests3.

Amazon GuardDuty is a threat detection service that continuously monitors for malicious activity and unauthorized behavior to protect your AWS accounts, workloads, and data stored in Amazon S3. Amazon GuardDuty analyzes and processes the following data sources: VPC Flow Logs, AWS CloudTrail event logs, and DNS logs.However, Amazon GuardDuty does not provide a web application firewall service that can block malicious web requests4.

Amazon CloudWatch is a monitoring and observability service that provides data and actionable insights to monitor your applications, respond to system-wide performance changes, optimize resource utilization, and get a unified view of operational health. Amazon CloudWatch collects monitoring and operational data in the form of logs, metrics, and events, and visualizes it using automated dashboards, alarms, and notifications. However, Amazon CloudWatch does not provide a web application firewall service that can block malicious web requests.

I keep mixing up GuardDuty and WAF; I think GuardDuty is more about threat detection, right?

Okay, let me think this through. We need a service that can protect against common web exploits, so that narrows it down. I'm leaning towards AWS WAF, but I'll double-check the other options just to be sure.
