I passed the exam and thanks Pass4Success for providing good collection of exam questions for preparation in short time. The Threat Detection and Incident Response section had long scenario questions asking you to prioritize containment, evidence collection, and notification steps using GuardDuty and Security Hub, study common playbooks, alert triage logic, and forensic data retention so you can sequence actions correctly.

Free Amazon SCS-C02 Exam Actual Questions

Note: Premium Questions for SCS-C02 were last updated On May. 21, 2026 (see below)

Question #1

[Identity and Access Management]

A development team is attempting to encrypt and decode a secure string parameter from the IAM Systems Manager Parameter Store using an IAM Key Management Service (IAM KMS) CMK. However, each attempt results in an error message being sent to the development team.

Which CMK-related problems possibly account for the error? (Select two.)

Reveal Solution Hide Solution
Correct Answer: A, D

https://docs.IAM.amazon.com/kms/latest/developerguide/services-parameter-store.html#parameter-store-cmk-fail


Question #2

[Infrastructure Security]

A company has AWS accounts in an organization in AWS Organizations. The company needs to install a corporate software package on all Amazon EC2 instances for all the accounts in the organization.

A central account provides base AMIs for the EC2 instances. The company uses AWS Systems Manager for software inventory and patching operations.

A security engineer must implement a solution that detects EC2 instances ttjat do not have the required software. The solution also must automatically install the software if the software is not present.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

Reveal Solution Hide Solution
Correct Answer: C

Utilizing AWS Config with a custom AWS Config rule (ec2-managedinstance-applications-required) enables detection of EC2 instances lacking the required software across all accounts in an organization. By creating an Amazon EventBridge rule that triggers on AWS Config events, and configuring it to invoke an AWS Lambda function, automated actions can be taken to ensure compliance. The Lambda function can leverage AWS Systems Manager Run Command to install the necessary software on non-compliant instances. This approach ensures continuous compliance and automated remediation, aligning with best practices for cloud security and management.


Question #3

[Logging and Monitoring]

A company uses Amazon API Gateway to present REST APIs to users. An API developer wants to analyze API access patterns without the need to parse the log files.

Which combination of steps will meet these requirements with the LEAST effort? (Select TWO.)

Reveal Solution Hide Solution
Correct Answer: C, D

Question #4

[Logging and Monitoring]

A company needs to follow security best practices to deploy resources from an AWS CloudFormation template. The CloudFormation template must be able to configure sensitive database credentials.

The company already uses AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) and AWS Secrets Manager.

Which solution will meet the requirements?

Reveal Solution Hide Solution
Correct Answer: A

Option A: This option meets the requirements of following security best practices and configuring sensitive database credentials in the CloudFormation template.A dynamic reference is a way to specify external values that are stored and managed in other services,such as Secrets Manager, in the stack templates1.When using a dynamic reference, CloudFormation retrieves the value of the specified reference when necessary during stack and change set operations1.Dynamic references can be used for certain resources that support them, such as AWS::RDS::DBInstance1. By using a dynamic reference to reference the database credentials in Secrets Manager, the company can leverage the existing integration between these services and avoid hardcoding the secret information in the template.Secrets Manager is a service that helps you protect secrets needed to access your applications, services, and IT resources2.Secrets Manager enables you to rotate, manage,and retrieve database credentials, API keys, and other secrets throughout theirlifecycle2.


Question #5

[Data Protection]

A company stores sensitive data in an Amazon S3 bucket. The company encrypts the data at rest by using server-side encryption with Amazon S3 managed keys (SSE-S3). A security engineer must prevent any modifications to the data in the S3 bucket. Which solution will meet this requirement?

Reveal Solution Hide Solution
Correct Answer: B
