ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

A company hosts a public-facing web application in a single AWS VPC. An Application Load Balancer in a public subnet forwards traffic to EC2 instances in private subnets. A new compliance requirement states that all inbound and outbound VPC traffic must undergo signature-based inspection and be automatically dropped if it matches known threats, while adding as little latency as possible. Which solution best satisfies this requirement?

  • Attach AWS WAF managed rule groups to the Application Load Balancer to inspect and block malicious requests.

  • Enable Amazon GuardDuty in the account and use an AWS Lambda function to revoke offending security-group rules when findings are generated.

  • Configure VPC Traffic Mirroring from the application subnets to an EC2 instance running Suricata in passive mode for threat detection.

  • Create a dedicated firewall subnet and deploy AWS Network Firewall, then adjust the VPC's route tables so that all inbound and outbound traffic is routed through the firewall endpoint.
