ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

A two-tier web application runs on EC2 instances in two private subnets, each in a different Availability Zone. Security engineers must insert a third-party IDS virtual appliance from AWS Marketplace to inspect all outbound internet traffic. The solution must remain available if an AZ fails, require only a route-table change (no instance changes), and let the team add appliance capacity as traffic grows. Which deployment meets these goals?

  • Deploy two IDS appliances in separate Availability Zones behind an Application Load Balancer and point each private subnet's default route (0.0.0.0/0) at the ALB.

  • Place multiple IDS appliance instances in each Availability Zone behind a Gateway Load Balancer, create Gateway Load Balancer endpoints in the private subnets, and set each subnet's default route to its local endpoint.

  • Enable VPC Flow Logs for the private subnets and forward the logs to an EC2-hosted IDS appliance for offline inspection.

  • Launch one IDS appliance in a dedicated public subnet and configure every EC2 instance to use the appliance's network interface as its default gateway.
