Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional topic 1 question 579 discussion

A company experienced a breach of highly confidential personal information due to permission issues on an Amazon S3 bucket. The Information Security team has tightened the bucket policy to restrict access. Additionally, to be better prepared for future attacks, these requirements must be met:
✑ Identify remote IP addresses that are accessing the bucket objects.
✑ Receive alerts when the security policy on the bucket is changed.
✑ Remediate the policy changes automatically.
Which strategies should the Solutions Architect use?

  • A. Use Amazon CloudWatch Logs with CloudWatch filters to identify remote IP addresses. Use CloudWatch Events rules with AWS Lambda to automatically remediate S3 bucket policy changes. Use Amazon SES with CloudWatch Events rules for alerts.
  • B. Use Amazon Athena with S3 access logs to identify remote IP addresses. Use AWS Config rules with AWS Systems Manager Automation to automatically remediate S3 bucket policy changes. Use Amazon SNS with AWS Config rules for alerts.
  • C. Use S3 access logs with Amazon Elasticsearch Service and Kibana to identify remote IP addresses. Use an Amazon Inspector assessment template to automatically remediate S3 bucket policy changes. Use Amazon SNS for alerts.
  • D. Use Amazon Macie with an S3 bucket to identify access patterns and remote IP addresses. Use AWS Lambda with Macie to automatically remediate S3 bucket policy changes. Use Macie automatic alerting capabilities for alerts.

B. 1)To id remote IPs, need to look at S3 access logs. Athena helps in analyzing those logs. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/using-s3-access-logs-to-identify-requests.html 2) For auto-remediation, use AWS Config with Systems Manager. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/mt/aws-config-auto-remediation-s3-compliance/ 4) For alerting, use SNS with AWS Config. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/developerguide/notifications-for-AWS-Config.html

D. Athena needs a lot of work and is not automatic. Macie is professional on Sensitive data discovery and protection. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/how-to-create-custom-alerts-with-amazon-macie/

Selected Answer: B
B - Need to retrive "remote IP addreses", alerts when the bucket changes and remediate the changes automatically --- Config rules --> detect change --> send sns alert + trigger config remediation. --> S3 acess logs search, Athena can probably do the job here. D - Macie is good but wont' meet the criteria to detect changes.

I'll go with B For those choosing D, read the question again. Twice. ✑ Identify remote IP addresses that are accessing the bucket objects. ✑ Receive alerts when the security policy on the bucket is changed. ✑ Remediate the policy changes automatically. ^ this is called "Requirements" ^ Macie is about the DATA itself; question wants to prevent a series of events like public explicit buckets, notify and set they private again. Typical use case of AWS Config rules

D B can't monitor S3 policy change. versus Macie can "Macie generates policy findings when the policies or settings for an S3 bucket are changed in a way that reduces the security of the bucket and its objects. Macie does this only if the change occurs after you enable your Macie account."
