AWS Certified Security – Specialty (SCS-C02) — Question 165

A company needs to create a centralized solution to analyze log files. The company uses an organization in AWS Organizations to manage its AWS accounts.

The solution must aggregate and normalize events from the following sources:

• The entire organization in Organizations
• All AWS Marketplace offerings that run in the company’s AWS accounts
• The company's on-premises systems

Which solution will meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Configure a centralized Amazon S3 bucket for the logs. Enable VPC Flow Logs, AWS CloudTrail. and Amazon Route 53 logs in all accounts. Configure all accounts to use the centralized S3 bucket. Configure AWS Glue crawlers to parse the log files. Use Amazon Athena to query the log data.
• B. Configure log streams in Amazon CloudWatch Logs for the sources that need monitoring Create log subscription filters for each log stream. Forward the messages to Amazon OpenSearch Service for analysis.
• C. Set up a delegated Amazon Security Lake administrator account in Organizations. Enable and configure Security Lake for the organization. Add the accounts that need monitoring. Use Amazon Athena to query the log data.
• D. Apply an SCP to configure all member accounts and services to deliver log files to a centralized Amazon S3 bucket. Use Amazon OpenSearch Service to query the centralized S3 bucket for log entries.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Option C is correct as it allows for the configuration of Security Lake to aggregate logs from the entire organization, which is essential for comprehensive analysis. Options A, B, and D do not provide the centralized and normalized event handling across all required sources as effectively as Security Lake does, particularly for on-premises systems and AWS Marketplace offerings.
