NEW QUESTION # 130
A company has two AWS accounts, each containing one VPC. The first VPC has a VPN connection with its corporate network. The second VPC, without a VPN, hosts an Amazon Aurora database cluster in private subnets. Developers manage the Aurora database from a bastion host in a public subnet as shown in the image.
A security review has flagged this architecture as vulnerable, and a Security Engineer has been asked to make this design more secure. The company has a short deadline and a second VPN connection to the Aurora account is not possible.
How can a Security Engineer securely set up the bastion host?
- A. Create an AWS Direct Connect connection between the corporate network and the Aurora account, and adjust the Aurora security group for this connection.
- B. Move the bastion host to the VPC with VPN connectivity. Create a cross-account trust relationship between the bastion VPC and Aurora VPC, and update the Aurora security group for the relationship.
- C. Create a SSH port forwarding tunnel on the Developer's workstation to the bastion host to ensure that only authorized SSH clients can access the bastion host.

- A. Enable encryption of the log files by using AWS Key Management Service
- B. Configure CloudTrail in the centralized account to log all accounts to the new centralized S3 bucket.
- C. Apply a bucket policy to the new centralized S3 bucket that permits the CloudTrail service to use the "s3 PutObject" action and the "s3 GelBucketACL" action, and specify the appropriate resource ARNs for the CloudTrail trails.
- D. Use unique log file prefixes for trails in each AWS account.
- E. Create a new S3 bucket in a separate AWS account for centralized storage of CloudTrail logs, and enable "Log File Validation" on all trails.
- F. Use an existing S3 bucket in one of the accounts, apply a bucket policy to the new centralized S3 bucket that permits the CloudTrail service to use the "s3: PutObject" action and the "s3 GetBucketACL" action, and specify the appropriate resource ARNs for the CloudTrail trails.
Answer: B,C,E
Explanation:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/best-practices-security.html If you have created an organization in AWS Organizations, you can create a trail that will log all events for all AWS accounts in that organization. This is sometimes referred to as an organization trail. You can also choose to edit an existing trail in the master account and apply it to an organization, making it an organization trail. Organization trails log events for the master account and all member accounts in the organization. For more information about AWS Organizations, see Organizations Terminology and Concepts. Note Reference:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/creating-trail-organization.html You must be logged in with the master account for the organization in order to create an organization trail. You must also have sufficient permissions for the IAM user or role in the master account in order to successfully create an organization trail. If you do not have sufficient permissions, you will not see the option to apply a trail to an organization.

NEW QUESTION # 135
You have an EC2 instance with the following security configured:
a. ICMP inbound allowed on Security Group
b. ICMP outbound not configured on Security Group
c. ICMP inbound allowed on Network ACL
d. ICMP outbound denied on Network ACL
If Flow logs is enabled for the instance, which of the following flow records will be recorded? Choose 3 answers from the options give below Please select:
- A. An ACCEPT record for the request based on the Security Group
- B. An ACCEPT record for the request based on the NACL
- C. A REJECT record for the response based on the NACL
- D. A REJECT record for the response based on the Security Group
Answer: A,B,C
Explanation:
Explanation
This example is given in the AWS documentation as well
For example, you use the ping command from your home computer (IP address is 203.0.113.12) to your instance (the network interface's private IP address is 172.31.16.139). Your security group's inbound rules allow ICMP traffic and the outbound rules do not allow ICMP traffic however, because security groups are stateful, the response ping from your instance is allowed. Your network ACL permits inbound ICMP traffic but does not permit outbound ICMP traffic. Because network ACLs are stateless, the response ping is dropped and will not reach your home computer. In a flow log, this is displayed as 2 flow log records:
An ACCEPT record for the originating ping that was allowed by both the network ACL and the security group, and therefore was allowed to reach your instance.
A REJECT record for the response ping that the network ACL denied.
Option C is invalid because the REJECT record would not be present For more information on Flow Logs, please refer to the below URL:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/UserGuide/flow-loes.html
The correct answers are: An ACCEPT record for the request based on the Security Group, An ACCEPT record for the request based on the NACL, A REJECT record for the response based on the NACL Submit your Feedback/Queries to our Experts
