ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

Your organization hosts a three-tier web application in a single Amazon VPC. Security operations has received a Snort rule that precisely matches the byte sequence of a newly discovered remote-code-execution exploit. The team must begin monitoring all traffic between EC2 instances today, generate alerts when the signature is seen, and ensure that no packets are blocked. Which approach most effectively meets these requirements while minimizing false positives?

  • Mirror all relevant ENI traffic with Amazon VPC Traffic Mirroring to a dedicated signature-based NIDS instance loaded with the new rule.

  • Deploy an inline heuristic IPS that uses machine-learning models to automatically block any suspicious connections.

  • Enable an anomaly-based IDS that learns baseline behavior and raises alerts on deviations after a training period.

  • Turn on VPC Flow Logs and analyze them with Amazon Athena to search for the exploit's byte sequence.
