ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

Your company runs several microservices on Amazon EC2 instances in multiple VPCs connected through an AWS Transit Gateway. Security leaders require a centrally managed control that can inspect both north-south and east-west traffic, detect known malicious patterns, and automatically drop matching packets before they reach the instances. The solution must avoid per-host agents and update its signatures without manual intervention. Which option best meets these requirements?

  • Attach AWS WAF web ACLs to the Application Load Balancers that front each microservice.

  • Deploy AWS Network Firewall in a dedicated security VPC and manage rule groups across accounts with AWS Firewall Manager, routing all VPC traffic through the firewall.

  • Mirror all VPC traffic to an EC2 host running Suricata and forward alerts to AWS Security Hub for investigation.

  • Enable Amazon GuardDuty in each account and configure EventBridge rules that automatically isolate offending instances.
