AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 206

Which action will help increase security in the AWS Cloud?

Answer options

• A. Enable programmatic access for all IAM users.
• 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

Explanation

Regularly rotating access keys is a best practice that helps to minimize the risk of compromised credentials being used over an extended period. The other options either increase the likelihood of security vulnerabilities or do not align with best practices, such as enabling programmatic access for all users or relying solely on IAM users instead of roles.
