Exam AWS Certified Security - Specialty SCS-C02 topic 1 question 36 discussion

A company has enabled Amazon GuardDuty in all AWS Regions as part of its security monitoring strategy. In one of its VPCs, the company hosts an Amazon EC2 instance that works as an FTP server. A high number of clients from multiple locations contact the FTP server. GuardDuty identifies this activity as a brute force attack because of the high number of connections that happen every hour.
The company has flagged the finding as a false positive, but GuardDuty continues to raise the issue. A security engineer must improve the signal-to-noise ratio without compromising the company's visibility of potential anomalous behavior.
Which solution will meet these requirements?

  • A. Disable the FTP rule in GuardDuty in the Region where the FTP server is deployed.
  • B. Add the FTP server to a trusted IP list. Deploy the list to GuardDuty to stop receiving the notifications.
  • C. Create a suppression rule in GuardDuty to filter findings by automatically archiving new findings that match the specified criteria.
  • D. Create an AWS Lambda function that has the appropriate permissions to delete the finding whenever a new occurrence is reported.

Create a suppression rule for certain findings so it will be automatically fowarded to "Archive" and do not show up in Security Hub (if enabled), Detective, or EventBridge. Option C is correct.

Selected Answer: C
Suppression rule with specific criteria is the most appropriate solution. Disable FTP entirely, trust everything from the FTP server reduces the GuardDuty effectiveness. Creating lambda to delete the finding is counter productive and the finding might have already trigger SNS topic if there's one.
