You have enabled Cloudtrail logs for your company's IAM account. In addition, the IT Security department has mentioned that the logs need to be encrypted. How can this be achieved?
Please select:

1. A. Enable SSL certificates for the Cloudtrail logs
2. B. There is no need to do anything since the logs will already be encrypted
3. C. Enable Server side encryption for the trail
4. D. Enable Server side encryption for the destination S3 bucket

Correct Answer: B
The IAM Documentation mentions the following.
By default CloudTrail event log files are encrypted using Amazon S3 server-side encryption (SSE). You can also choose to encryption your log files with an IAM Key Management Service (IAM KMS) key. You can store your log files in your bucket for as long as you want. You can also define Amazon S3 lifecycle rules to archive or delete log files automatically. If you want notifications about lo file delivery and validation, you can set up Amazon SNS notifications.
Option A.C and D are not valid since logs will already be encrypted
For more information on how Cloudtrail works, please visit the following URL: https://docs.IAM.amazon.com/IAMcloudtrail/latest/usereuide/how-cloudtrail-works.htmll
The correct answer is: There is no need to do anything since the logs will already be encrypted

Your company hosts critical data in an S3 bucket. There is a requirement to ensure that all data is encrypted. There is also metadata about the information stored in the bucket that needs to be encrypted as well. Which of the below measures would you take to ensure that the metadata is encrypted?
Please select:

1. A. Put the metadata as metadata for each object in the S3 bucket and then enable S3 Server side encryption.
2. B. Put the metadata as metadata for each object in the S3 bucket and then enable S3 Server KMS encryption.
3. C. Put the metadata in a DynamoDB table and ensure the table is encrypted during creation time.
4. D. Put thp metadata in thp S3 hurkpf itself.

Correct Answer: C
Option A ,B and D are all invalid because the metadata will not be encrypted in any case and this is a key requirement from the question.
One key thing to note is that when the S3 bucket objects are encrypted, the meta data is not encrypted. So the best option is to use an encrypted DynamoDB table
Important
All GET and PUT requests for an object protected by IAM KMS will fail if they are not made via SSL or by using SigV4. SSE-KMS encrypts only the object data. Any object metadata is not encrypted. For more information on using KMS encryption for S3, please refer to below URL: 1 https://docs.IAM.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/UsingKMSEncryption.html
The correct answer is: Put the metadata in a DynamoDB table and ensure the table is encrypted during creation time. Submit your Feedback/Queries to our Experts

Instances in your VPC do not require public IP addresses to communicate with resources in the service. Traffic between your VPC and the other service does not leave the Amazon network.
Option A.B and C are all invalid because the question specifically mentions that access should not be provided via the Internet
