[All AWS Certified Security - Specialty Questions]

A company is observing frequent bursts of unusual traffic to its corporate website. The IP address ranges that inflate the requests keep changing, and the volumes of traffic are increasing.

A security engineer needs to implement a solution to protect the website from a potential DDoS attack. The solution must rack the rate of requests from IP addresses. When the requests from a particular IP address exceed a specific rate, the solution must limit the amount of traffic that can reach the website from that IP address.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

  • A. Setup Amazon Inspector on the backend servers. Create assessment targets with a rate-based configuration to block any offending IP address.
  • B. Create a rate-based rule in AWS WAF to block an IP address when that IP address exceeds the configured threshold rate.
  • C. Identity the offending client IP address ranges. Create a regular rule in AWS WAF to block the offending IP address ranges.
  • D. Create a rate-based rule in Amazon GuardDuty to block an IP address when that IP address exceeds the configured threshold rate
