Amazon Exam SCS-C02 Topic 8 Question 21 Discussion

Actual exam question for Amazon's SCS-C02 exam

Question #: 21
Topic #: 8

A company uses Amazon EC2 instances to host frontend services behind an Application Load Balancer. Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes are attached to the EC2 instances. The company uses Amazon S3 buckets to store large files for images and music.

The company has implemented a security architecture oit>AWS to prevent, identify, and isolate potential ransomware attacks. The company now wants to further reduce risk.

A security engineer must develop a disaster recovery solution that can recover to normal operations if an attacker bypasses preventive and detective controls. The solution must meet an RPO of 1 hour.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

AUse AWS Backup to create backups of the EC2 instances and S3 buckets every hour. Create AWS CloudFormation templates that replicate existing architecture components. Use AWS CodeCommit to store the CloudFormation templates alongside application configuration code.

BUse AWS Backup to create backups of the EBS volumes and S3 objects every day. Use Amazon Security Lake to create a centralized data lake for AWS CloudTrail logs and VPC flow logs. Use the logs for automated response.

CUse Amazon Security Lake to create a centralized data lake for AWS CloudTrail logs and VPC flow logs. Use the logs for automated response Enable AWS Security Hub to establish a single location for recovery procedures. Create AWS CloudFormation templates that replicate existing architecture components. Use AWS CodeCommit to store the CloudFormation templates alongside application configuration code.

DCreate EBS snapshots every 4 hours Enable Amazon GuardDuty Malware Protection. Create automation to immediately restore the most recent snapshot for any EC2 instances that produce an Execution:EC2/MaliciousFile finding in GuardDuty.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

To ensure minimal latency and regional availability of secrets, encrypting secrets in us-east-1 with a customer-managed KMS key and then replicating them to us-west-1 for encryption with the same key is the optimal approach. This method leverages customer-managed KMS keys for enhanced control and ensures that secrets are available in both regions, adhering to disaster recovery principles and minimizing latency by using regional endpoints.

I'm not a fan of B - relying on logs alone for automated response feels a bit risky. I'd prefer a solution that has more proactive recovery capabilities.

I think option A is the best choice because it creates backups every hour and replicates the architecture components.
