AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 292

A company website is experiencing DDoS attacks.

Which AWS service can help protect the company website against these attacks?

Answer options

• A. AWS Resource Access Manager
• B. AWS Amplify
• C. AWS Shield
• D. Amazon GuardDuty

Correct answer: C

Explanation

AWS Shield is a managed DDoS protection service that safeguards applications running on AWS. While Amazon GuardDuty detects threats and malicious activity, it does not actively mitigate DDoS attacks. AWS Amplify is for application development and AWS Resource Access Manager is for sharing resources, making them incorrect choices.
