ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

Your company will launch an Auto Scaling group for an internal web app that must meet CIS Level-1 Linux benchmarks. Policy requires every instance start from an approved AMI that is already hardened and fully patched, and administrators want to minimize ongoing effort to keep that image current. Which approach best meets these needs with the least manual maintenance?

  • Launch instances directly from the latest Amazon Linux 2 AMI, enable unattended security updates with yum-cron, and periodically scan them with Amazon Inspector.

  • Configure an EC2 Image Builder pipeline that applies CIS hardening and patches on a schedule to produce a golden AMI; reference the latest AMI in the Auto Scaling launch template.

  • Invoke AWS Systems Manager Patch Manager from Auto Scaling lifecycle hooks to install updates, then run Ansible hardening playbooks via user-data on each instance after it launches.

  • Each month, manually harden a single EC2 instance, create an AMI from it, and update the Auto Scaling group to use the new image.
