Question 360
An AWS network engineer must address this specific condition: A security team needs packet transfer counts and flow direction to assess a suspected data-exfiltration path. Which implementation or operational change BEST meets the requirement?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Network-flow metadata can indicate volume and routing context without revealing encrypted payload contents. Confirm the change by checking that records identify the suspicious destination and its approximate transferred volume.
Incorrect Answers
Traffic logs cannot identify the API principal responsible for a policy change by themselves. It does not directly achieve the required result: records identify the suspicious destination and its approximate transferred volume. The constraint is that network-flow metadata can indicate volume and routing context without revealing encrypted payload contents.
The effective group configuration alone does not reveal which operator or workflow changed it. In this situation, network-flow metadata can indicate volume and routing context without revealing encrypted payload contents. The proposed change does not ensure records identify the suspicious destination and its approximate transferred volume.
Packet-flow metadata is separate from CloudTrail API configuration activity. The needed control instead targets VPC Flow Logs extended fields can support traffic-path and packet count analysis; it succeeds when records identify the suspicious destination and its approximate transferred volume.
