AWS Certified Security - Specialty SCS-C02 — Topic 1 Question 289

Question

A security engineer needs to implement a solution to determine whether a company’s Amazon EC2 instances are being used to mine cryptocurrency. The solution must provide notifications of cryptocurrency-related activity to an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic. Which solution will meet these requirements?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. The correct answer is B. Option B: Enable Amazon GuardDuty. Create an Amazon EventBridge rule to send alerts to the SNS topic when GuardDuty creates a finding that is associated with cryptocurrency-related activity. Amazon SNS is a managed pub/sub service for fan-out notifications to many subscribers. Amazon EventBridge routes events between services with rules, enabling event-driven, decoupled architectures. Amazon GuardDuty continuously monitors for threats and malicious activity.
