Discuss EC-Council 312-40 Exam Topic 1 Question 8

Richard Roxburgh works as a cloud security engineer in an IT company. His organization was dissatisfied with the services of its previous cloud service provider. Therefore, in January 2020, his organization adopted AWS cloud-based services and shifted all workloads and data in the AWS cloud. Richard wants to provide complete security to the hosted applications before deployment and while running in the AWS ecosystem. Which of the following automated security assessment services provided by AWS can be used by Richard to improve application security and check the application for any type of vulnerability or deviation from the best practices automatically?

AAWS CloudFormation

BAmazon Inspector

CAWS Control Tower

DAmazon CloudFront

Suggested Answer: B

1.Amazon Inspector: It is an automated security assessment service that helps improve the security and compliance of applications deployed on AWS1.

1.Automated Scans: Amazon Inspector automatically scans workloads, such as Amazon EC2 instances, containers, and Lambda functions, for vulnerabilities and unintended network exposure1.

1.Security Best Practices: It checks for deviations from best practices and provides detailed findings that include information about the nature of the threat, the affected resources, and recommendations for remediation1.

1.Integration with AWS: As an AWS-native service, Amazon Inspector is well-integrated into the AWS ecosystem, making it suitable for Richard's requirements to secure applications before deployment and while running1.

1.Exclusion of Other Options: AWS CloudFormation is used for infrastructure as code, AWS Control Tower for governance, and Amazon CloudFront for content delivery, none of which are automated security assessment services1.

CloudFormation is great, but not for security checks!

I’m not sure if Inspector covers everything, though.

Wait, isn't AWS Control Tower more for governance?

Totally agree, Inspector is designed for that!

I think Amazon Inspector is the right choice for vulnerability assessments.

I keep mixing up these services, but I think AWS CloudFormation is more about infrastructure as code, not security assessments.

Armanda 1 year ago

I practiced a similar question, and I think the answer is definitely Amazon Inspector since it scans for vulnerabilities in applications.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like AWS Control Tower is more about governance and not specifically for vulnerability assessments.

Okay, let me break this down step-by-step. I think the key is understanding how dividend payments work in the equity market.

This is a good test of our understanding of wireless network design. I think option A is the way to go - the signal strength and SNR values should provide a stable, high-quality connection for the critical applications.

Haha, CloudFront is for content delivery, not security assessment. Good one though, that was a bit of a trick question.

CloudFormation is great for automating the deployment of infrastructure, but I don't think it's the best fit for security assessment. Gotta go with Inspector on this one.
