Question 580
In an AWS networking assessment, an administrator attempts to restrict all outbound traffic by removing security-group inbound rules only. Which technical explanation BEST accounts for the observed condition?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Removing ingress permissions alone does not stop instances initiating outbound connections. This explains the observed network behavior, which can be checked by verifying that unauthorized new outbound attempts fail while required egress remains permitted.
Incorrect Answers
Endpoint private addressing does not automatically enforce least-privilege client access. For the stated conditions, removing ingress permissions alone does not stop instances initiating outbound connections. The more specific mechanism is security group egress and ingress permissions are configured independently for new flows.
A successful inbound rule does not automatically authorize reply packets under a stateless ACL. The reported evidence instead concerns security group egress and ingress permissions are configured independently for new flows: removing ingress permissions alone does not stop instances initiating outbound connections.
A broad earlier deny can supersede a later allow despite permissive security groups. The reported evidence instead concerns security group egress and ingress permissions are configured independently for new flows: removing ingress permissions alone does not stop instances initiating outbound connections.
