A security engineer has enabled AWS Security Hub in their AWS account, and has enabled the Center for Internet Security (CIS) AWS Foundations compliance standard.

Which steps should the security engineer take to meet these requirements?

  • B. Ensure that AWS Trusted Advisor is enabled in the account, and that the Security Hub service role has permissions to retrieve the Trusted Advisor security- related recommended actions.
  • C. Ensure that AWS Config is enabled in the account, and that the required AWS Config rules have been created for the CIS compliance evaluation.
  • D. Ensure that the correct trail in AWS CloudTrail has been configured for monitoring by Security Hub, and that the Security Hub service role has permissions to perform the GetObject operation on CloudTrail's Amazon S3 bucket.

For Security Hub to accurately report findings for controls that have a change triggered schedule type, you must enable recording for the following resources in AWS Config. C

why are most of the answers provided by examtopics given as the correct answer and even supply a link sometimes but are usually wrong? And can one of their editors give a new version with the correct answers? And in your experience is this common on the other tests from the different vendors, like the Splunk tests?

To run security checks for the enabled controls on your environment's resources, Security Hub either runs through the exact audit steps prescribed for the checks in Securing Amazon Web Services or uses specific AWS Config managed rules.

Q: How are AWS Config and AWS Config rules related to AWS Security Hub? AWS Security Hub is a security and compliance service that provides security and compliance posture management, as a service. It uses AWS Config and Config rules as its primary mechanism to evaluate the configuration of AWS resources. AWS Config rules can also be used to evaluate resource configuration directly. They also are used by other AWS services, such AWS Control Tower and AWS Firewall Manager. https://aws.amazon.com/security-hub/faqs/

Security Hub requires that AWS Config is enabled in all accounts that have Security Hub enabled. Security Hub controls use AWS Config rules to complete security checks. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/securityhub/latest/userguide/securityhub-setup-prereqs.html
