ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

A security team ingests AWS CloudTrail and VPC Flow Logs into an on-premises SIEM. Analysts complain that successful Describe* and List* API calls clog dashboards, masking higher-risk activity and inflating ingestion costs. Without eliminating visibility into unauthorized or write operations, which log-tuning change provides the MOST effective reduction of noise at the source?

  • Disable the CloudWatch Logs subscription filter that forwards CloudTrail to the SIEM while continuing to archive the raw logs in Amazon S3.

  • Configure VPC Flow Logs to capture only 10% of accepted traffic and all rejected traffic before forwarding to the SIEM.

  • Modify the existing CloudTrail trail to log only management events with a WriteOnly read/write type and to include events that return an Error response.

  • Change the CloudWatch Logs retention policy for the CloudTrail log group to one day so excess data is purged quickly.
