Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 topic 1 question 315 discussion

A company experienced a breach that affected several applications in its on-premises data center. The attacker took advantage of vulnerabilities in the custom applications that were running on the servers. The company is now migrating its applications to run on Amazon EC2 instances. The company wants to implement a solution that actively scans for vulnerabilities on the EC2 instances and sends a report that details the findings.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

  • A. Deploy AWS Shield to scan the EC2 instances for vulnerabilities. Create an AWS Lambda function to log any findings to AWS CloudTrail.
  • B. Deploy Amazon Macie and AWS Lambda functions to scan the EC2 instances for vulnerabilities. Log any findings to AWS CloudTrail.
  • C. Turn on Amazon GuardDuty. Deploy the GuardDuty agents to the EC2 instances. Configure an AWS Lambda function to automate the generation and distribution of reports that detail the findings.
  • D. Turn on Amazon Inspector. Deploy the Amazon Inspector agent to the EC2 instances. Configure an AWS Lambda function to automate the generation and distribution of reports that detail the findings.

Amazon Inspector: • Performs active vulnerability scans of EC2 instances. It looks for software vulnerabilities, unintended network accessibility, and other security issues. • Requires installing an agent on EC2 instances to perform scans. The agent must be deployed to each instance. • Provides scheduled scan reports detailing any findings of security risks or vulnerabilities. These reports can be used to patch or remediate issues. • Is best suited for proactively detecting security weaknesses and misconfigurations in your AWS environment.

Amazon GuardDuty: • Monitors for malicious activity like unusual API calls, unauthorized infrastructure deployments, or compromised EC2 instances. It uses machine learning and behavioral analysis of logs. • Does not require installing any agents. It relies on analyzing AWS CloudTrail, VPC Flow Logs, and DNS logs. • Alerts you to any detected threats, suspicious activity or policy violations in your AWS accounts. These alerts warrant investigation but may not always require remediation. • Is focused on detecting active threats, unauthorized behavior, and signs of a compromise in your AWS environment. • Can also detect some vulnerabilities and misconfigurations but coverage is not as broad as a dedicated service like Inspector.

Amazon Inspector is a security assessment service that helps to identify security vulnerabilities and compliance issues in applications deployed on Amazon EC2 instances. It can be used to assess the security of applications that are deployed on Amazon EC2 instances, including those that are custom-built. To use Amazon Inspector, the Amazon Inspector agent must be installed on the EC2 instances that need to be assessed. The agent collects data about the instances and sends it to Amazon Inspector for analysis. Amazon Inspector then generates a report that details any security vulnerabilities that were found and provides guidance on how to remediate them. By configuring an AWS Lambda function, the company can automate the generation and distribution of reports that detail the findings. This means that reports can be generated and distributed as soon as vulnerabilities are detected, allowing the company to take action quickly.
