AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 218

Which action will help increase security in the AWS Cloud?

Answer options

• B. Use IAM users instead of IAM roles to delegate permissions.
• C. Rotate access keys on a reoccurring basis.
• D. Use inline policies instead of customer managed policies.

Correct answer: C

Regularly rotating access keys minimizes the risk of key exposure and unauthorized access, which is why option C is the correct answer. Options A and B increase the risk of granting excessive permissions, and option D offers less flexibility and control compared to customer managed policies.
