How can a company detect and notify security teams about PII in S3 buckets?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Amazon Macie is purpose-built for detecting PII in S3.

Option A uses EventBridge to filter SensitiveData findings and notify via SNS, meeting the requirements.

Options B and D involve GuardDuty, which is not designed for PII detection.

Option C uses SQS, which is less suitable for immediate notifications.

Wait, can GuardDuty even detect PII? That seems off.

I’m leaning towards option A too, but I remember there was some confusion about whether to use SNS or SQS for notifications. I hope I get that part right!

I think option C is close, but I remember that Macie should be paired with EventBridge for notifications. I just can't recall if it was SQS or SNS.

I feel like GuardDuty is more about threat detection rather than PII specifically. I might be mixing it up with another practice question we did.

I'm not super familiar with EventBridge or SNS, so I'll need to make sure I understand how to set those up correctly. But I think I can work through this step-by-step.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the differences between Macie and GuardDuty. I'll need to review the details of each service to figure out the best approach.

I'm with Luisa on this one. SNS is the way to go. Plus, you can set up some fun emoji-based alerts to really liven up the security team's day.

Hmm, I'm not sure about using GuardDuty for this. It's more geared towards general security threats, not PII specifically. I'd go with Macie for this use case.
