Selected Answer: D

Amazon Inspector: • Performs active vulnerability scans of EC2 instances. It looks for software vulnerabilities, unintended network accessibility, and other security issues. • Requires installing an agent on EC2 instances to perform scans. The agent must be deployed to each instance. • Provides scheduled scan reports detailing any findings of security risks or vulnerabilities. These reports can be used to patch or remediate issues. • Is best suited for proactively detecting security weaknesses and misconfigurations in your AWS environment.

Amazon GuardDuty: • Monitors for malicious activity like unusual API calls, unauthorized infrastructure deployments, or compromised EC2 instances. It uses machine learning and behavioral analysis of logs. • Does not require installing any agents. It relies on analyzing AWS CloudTrail, VPC Flow Logs, and DNS logs. • Alerts you to any detected threats, suspicious activity or policy violations in your AWS accounts. These alerts warrant investigation but may not always require remediation. • Is focused on detecting active threats, unauthorized behavior, and signs of a compromise in your AWS environment. • Can also detect some vulnerabilities and misconfigurations but coverage is not as broad as a dedicated service like Inspector.

Selected Answer: D

Amazon Inspector is a security assessment service that helps to identify security vulnerabilities and compliance issues in applications deployed on Amazon EC2 instances. It can be used to assess the security of applications that are deployed on Amazon EC2 instances, including those that are custom-built. To use Amazon Inspector, the Amazon Inspector agent must be installed on the EC2 instances that need to be assessed. The agent collects data about the instances and sends it to Amazon Inspector for analysis. Amazon Inspector then generates a report that details any security vulnerabilities that were found and provides guidance on how to remediate them. By configuring an AWS Lambda function, the company can automate the generation and distribution of reports that detail the findings. This means that reports can be generated and distributed as soon as vulnerabilities are detected, allowing the company to take action quickly.
