    AWS SAP-C02 · Question 38 · Domain 1.2: Security Controls

    An enterprise has a strict regulatory requirement that all API calls made within their AWS environment must be logged, and these logs must be stored in a centralized, highly secure account. The logs must be cryptographically verifiable to prove they have not been tampered with. How should this be configured?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Enable AWS Config in all accounts and send the configuration history to Amazon S3.

    B.

    Create an AWS CloudTrail organization trail, send logs to an S3 bucket in a dedicated Log Archive account, and enable CloudTrail log file validation.

    C.

    Use Amazon CloudWatch Logs agent on all EC2 instances to send logs to a central account.

    D.

    Enable VPC Flow Logs in all accounts and store them in Amazon S3 with Object Lock.

    How to approach this question

    Identify the service for API logging (CloudTrail) and the feature for cryptographic verification (Log File Validation).

    Full Answer

    B.Create an AWS CloudTrail organization trail, send logs to an S3 bucket in a dedicated Log Archive account, and enable CloudTrail log file validation.✓ Correct
    Create an AWS CloudTrail organization trail, send logs to an S3 bucket in a dedicated Log Archive account, and enable CloudTrail log file validation.
    AWS CloudTrail records API calls. An organization trail ensures all accounts are logged centrally. CloudTrail log file validation creates a digitally signed digest file, allowing you to verify that log files were not modified, deleted, or forged.

    Common mistakes

    Confusing CloudTrail (API logs) with VPC Flow Logs (network traffic).
