Question 1 of 10
1. Question
SercuCorp has defined a number of EC2 instances over a period of 6 months. They want to know if any of the security groups allow unrestricted access to a resource. What is the best option to accomplish this requirement?
Correct
Answer – B The AWS Trusted Advisor can check security groups for rules that allow unrestricted access to a resource. Unrestricted access increases opportunities for malicious activity (hacking, denial-of-service attacks, loss of data). If you go to AWS Trusted Advisor, you can see the details
Option A is invalid because AWS Inspector is used to detect security vulnerabilities in instances and not for security groups.
Option C is invalid because this can be used to detect changes in security groups but not show you security groups that have compromised access. Option D is partially valid but would just be a maintenance overhead For more information on the AWS Trusted Advisor, please visit the below URL https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/trustedadvisor/best-practices/Incorrect

Question 2 of 10
2. Question
A StartUp company is using CloudTrail to log all AWS API activity for all regions in all of its accounts. The CISO has asked that additional steps be taken to protect the integrity of the log files. What combination of steps will protect the log files from intentional or unintentional alteration?
Choose 2 answers from the options given belowCorrect
Answer – A and C The AWS Documentation mentions the following To determine whether a log file was modified, deleted, or unchanged after CloudTrail delivered it, you can use CloudTrail log file integrity validation. This feature is built using industry-standard algorithms: SHA-256 for hashing and SHA-256 with RSA for digital signing. This makes it computationally infeasible to modify, delete or forge CloudTrail log files without detection.
Option B is invalid because there is no such thing as Trusted Advisor Cloud Trail checks
Option D is invalid because Systems Manager cannot be used for this purpose.
Option E is invalid because Security Groups cannot be used to block calls from other services For more information on Cloudtrail log file validation, please visit the below URL https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/cloudtrail-log-file-validation-intro.html For more information on delivering Cloudtrail logs from multiple accounts, please visit the below URL https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/cloudtrail-receive-logs-from-multiple-accounts.htmlIncorrect

Question 5 of 10
5. Question
Your company is planning on hosting an internal network in AWS. They want machines in the VPC to authenticate using private certificates. They want to minimize the work and maintenance in working with certificates. What is the ideal way to fulfill this requirement?
Correct
Explanation Answer – B The AWS Documentation mentions the following ACM is tightly linked with AWS Certificate Manager Private Certificate Authority. You can use ACM PCA to create a private certificate authority (CA) and then use ACM to issue private certificates. These are SSL/TLS X.509 certificates that identify users, computers, applications, services, servers, and other devices internally. Private certificates cannot be publicly trusted
Option A is partially invalid. Windows Server 2016 Certificate Manager can be used but since there is a requirement to “minimize the work and maintenance, AWS Certificate Manager should be used
Options C and D are invalid because these cannot be used for managing certificates. For more information on ACM, please visit the below URL https://docs.aws.amazon.com/acm/latest/userguide/acm-overview.htmlIncorrect

Question 7 of 10
7. Question
You have just recently set up a web and database tier in a VPC and hosted the application. When testing the application, you are not able to reach the home page for the app. You have verified the security groups. What can help you diagnose the issue?
Correct
Explanation Answer – B Use VPC Flow logs to diagnose the traffic
Option A is invalid because this can be used to check for security issues in your account, but not verify as to why you cannot reach the home page for your application
Option C is invalid because this used to protect your app against application-layer attacks, but not verify as to why you cannot reach the home page for your application
Option D is invalid because this used to protect your instance against attacks, but not verify as to why you cannot reach the home page for your application The AWS Documentation mentions the following VPC Flow Logs capture network flow information for a VPC, subnet, or network interface and stores it in Amazon CloudWatch Logs. Flow log data can help customers troubleshoot network issues; for example, to diagnose why specific traffic is not reaching an instance, which might be a result of overly restrictive security group rules. Customers can also use flow logs as a security tool to monitor the traffic that reaches their instances, to profile network traffic, and to look for abnormal traffic behaviors

Question 9 of 10
9. Question
A security team must present a daily briefing to the CISO that includes a report of which of the company’s thousands of EC2 instances and on-premises servers are missing the latest security patches. All instances/servers must be brought into compliance within 24 hours so they do not show up on the next day’s report.
How can the security team fulfill these requirements?Correct
Explanation Answer – B Use the Systems Manager Patch Manager to generate the report and also install the missing patches The AWS Documentation mentions the following AWS Systems Manager Patch Manager automates the process of patching managed instances with security-related updates. For Linux-based instances, you can also install patches for non-security updates. You can patch fleets of Amazon EC2 instances or your on-premises servers and virtual machines (VMs) by operating system type. This includes supported versions of Windows, Ubuntu Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES), and Amazon Linux. You can scan instances to see only a report of missing patches, or you can scan and automatically install all missing patches.
Option A is invalid because Amazon QuickSight and Cloud Trail cannot be used to generate the list of servers that don’t meet compliance needs.
Option C is wrong because deploying instances via new AMI’s would impact the applications hosted on these servers
Option D is invalid because Amazon Trusted Advisor cannot be used to generate the list of servers that don’t meet compliance needs.

Very well structured set of questions in each of these sample tests. It was quite similar in difficulty to the questions that I faced in the actual certification exam. Provided a great hand-on experience in how one should go about choosing answers in the multi-choice, as many questions in the actual exam have tricky choices. I would greatly recommend these tests for anyone wishing to take the Security specialty certifications. The recommendation to retake the exams till we achieve 80% consistently was spot on!
I was able to successfully get a passing grade thanks to these!
