AWS Certified Security - Specialty SCS-C02 — Topic 1 Question 302

Question

A company is investigating an increase in its AWS monthly bill. The company discovers that bad actors compromised some Amazon EC2 instances and served webpages for a large email phishing campaign. A security engineer must implement a solution to monitor for cost increases in the future to help detect malicious activity. Which solution will offer the company the EARLIEST detection of cost increases?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. The correct answer is B. Option B: Create a cost monitor in AWS Cost Anomaly Detection. Configure an individual alert to notify an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic when the percentage above the expected cost exceeds a threshold. Amazon SNS is a managed pub/sub service for fan-out notifications to many subscribers. AWS Config tracks resource configuration changes and evaluates compliance.
