4An IAM user with full access to all EC2 actions in all regions assumes a role that has access
to only the EC2 RunInstances operation in the us-east-1 region. What will the user be able
to do under the assumed role?- ACreate a new instance in any region.
- BCreate a new instance in the us-east-1 region.
- CStart an existing instance in the us-east-1 region.

the following will give an IAM user permission to decrypt these objects?- AAdd the user to the key policy as a key user.
- BGrant the user access to the key using an IAM policy.
- CAdd the user to the key policy as a key administrator.
- DAdd the user as a principal to the bucket policy.
6You run a public-facing application on EC2 instances. The application is backed by a database
running on RDS. Users access it using multiple domain names that are hosted in Route
53. You want to get an idea of what IP addresses are accessing your application. Which of
the following would you stream to CloudWatch Logs to get this information?- ARDS logs
- BDNS query logs
- CVPC flow logs
- DCloudTrail logs
7You’re running a web server that keeps a detailed log of web requests. You want to determine
which IP address has made the most requests in the last 24 hours. What should you do
to accomplish this? (Choose two.)- ACreate a metric filter.
- BStream the web server logs to CloudWatch Logs.
- CUpload the web server log to S3
- DUse Athena to query the data.
8An application running on an EC2 instance has been updated to send large amounts of data
to a server in your data center for backup. Previously, the instance generated very little traffic.
Which GuardDuty finding type is this likely to trigger?- ABehavior
- BBackdoor
- CStealth
- DResourceConsumption
9You’ve set up an AWS Config managed rule to check whether a particular security group
is attached to every instance in a VPC. You receive an SNS notification that an instance is
out of compliance. But when you check the instance a few hours later, the security group is
attached. Which of the following may help explain the apparent discrepancy? (Choose two.)- AThe AWS Config timeline
- BLambda logs
- CCloudTrail management event logs
- DVPC flow logs
10You want to use Amazon Inspector to analyze the security posture of your EC2 instances
running Windows. Which rules package should you not use in your assessment?- ACommon Vulnerabilities and Exposures
- BCenter for Internet Security Benchmarks
- CRuntime Behavior Analysis
- DSecurity Best Practices
11You have a distributed application running in data centers around the world. The application
connects to a public Simple Queue Service (SQS) endpoint to send messages to a queue.
How can you prevent an attacker from using this endpoint to gain unauthorized access to
the queue? (Choose two.)- ANetwork access control lists
- BSecurity groups
- CIAM policies
- DSQS access policies
12You’re using a public-facing application load balancer to forward traffic to EC2 instances in
an Auto Scaling group. What can you do to ensure users on the Internet can reach the load
balancer over HTTPS without reaching your instances directly? (Choose two.)- ACreate a security group that allows all inbound traffic to TCP port 443.
- BAttach the security group to the instances.
- CAttach the security group to the load balancer.
- DRemove the internet gateway from the VPC.
- ECreate a security group that allows all inbound traffic to TCP port 80.
13You’re running a UDP-based application on an EC2 instance. How can you protect it
against a DDoS attack?- APlace the instance behind a network load balancer.
- BImplement a security group to restrict inbound access to the instance.
- CPlace the instance behind an application load balancer.
- DEnable AWS Shield Standard.
14You’re running a web application on six EC2 instances behind a network load balancer.
The web application uses a MySQL database. How can you protect your application against
SQL injection attacks?- AEnable WAF.

- CPlace the instances behind an application load balancer.
- DBlock TCP port 3306.
15Which services protect against an HTTP flood attack?
- AGuardDuty
- BWAF
- CShield Standard
- DShield Advanced
16Your security policy requires that you use a KMS key for encrypting S3 objects. It further
requires this key be rotated once a year and revoked when misuse is detected. Which key
type should you use? (Choose two.)- ACustomer-managed CMK
- BAWS-managed CMK
- CS3-managed key
- DCustomer-provided key
17A developer is designing an application to run on AWS and has asked for your input in
deciding whether to use a SQL database or DynamoDB for storing highly transactional
application data. Your security policy requires all application data to be encrypted and
encryption keys to be rotated every 90 days. Which AWS service should you recommend for
storing application data?- AKMS
- BRedShift
- CDynamoDB
- DRDS
