AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 526

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 Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection service that safeguards web applications running on AWS. AWS Resource Access Manager is used for sharing resources securely across AWS accounts, AWS Amplify is a platform for building mobile and web applications, and Amazon GuardDuty is a continuous security monitoring and threat detection service rather than a DDoS mitigation tool.
