ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

Your company hosts several production workloads in AWS using long-lived access keys assigned to IAM users. A recently adopted security standard mandates that all privileged access employ short-lived credentials issued by a centralized identity provider and be fully auditable in CloudTrail. Which approach best meets the new requirement while minimizing code changes to existing workloads?

  • Create a separate AWS account for privileged operations and distribute the root user credentials to the security team for emergency use only.

  • Use AWS Secrets Manager to automatically rotate every IAM user access key every 90 days and store rotation events in CloudTrail.

  • Enable MFA Delete on all S3 buckets and require hardware MFA tokens for existing IAM users during console logins.

  • Replace the IAM users with IAM roles accessed through AWS IAM Identity Center federated to the corporate IdP; applications obtain temporary AWS STS credentials at runtime.
