ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

An e-commerce company runs its public website on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). A recent penetration test reports exposure to the BEAST attack because the ALB still negotiates SSLv3 and TLS 1.0 with CBC ciphers. Which change will most effectively remediate this weak protocol implementation without requiring application code changes?

  • Reconfigure the architecture so TLS is terminated on each EC2 instance while the ALB operates in TCP passthrough mode.

  • Replace the current RSA server certificate with an Elliptic Curve certificate while leaving protocol support unchanged.

  • Enable HTTP/2 on the ALB so the client and server communicate over a newer application layer protocol.

  • Apply an AWS managed security policy on the ALB that disables SSLv3 and TLS 1.0 and allows only TLS 1.2 with strong ciphers.
