ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

Your organization is migrating a two-tier web application to AWS. Corporate policy requires a demilitarized zone (DMZ) that exposes only the web tier to the Internet while preventing any direct inbound connectivity to the application and database tiers. Which Amazon VPC design best meets this requirement following AWS security best practices?

  • Build two VPCs, one for the web tier and one for the internal tiers, peer them, and attach an Internet Gateway to both so each tier can receive client requests directly.

  • Place all tiers in a single private subnet and publish the web application to the Internet by assigning an Elastic IP address to a NAT gateway in that subnet.

  • Deploy the web, application, and database instances together in a single public subnet protected solely by security groups that allow TCP 80 and 443 from 0.0.0.0/0.

  • Create separate public and private subnets within one VPC; attach an Internet Gateway to the public subnets for the web tier, place application and database instances in private subnets reachable only from the web tier, and use a NAT gateway for their outbound traffic.
