Actual exam question for Amazon's SAA-C03 exam
Question #: 37
Topic #: 1
[All SAA-C03 Questions]

A company has a three-tier environment on AWS that ingests sensor data from its users' devices The traffic flows through a Network Load Balancer (NIB) then to Amazon EC2 instances for the web tier and finally to EC2 instances for the application tier that makes database calls

What should a solutions architect do to improve the security of data in transit to the web tier?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

A: How do you protect your data in transit?

Best Practices:

Implement secure key and certificate management: Store encryption keys and certificates securely and rotate them at appropriate time intervals while applying strict access control; for example, by using a certificate management service, such as AWS Certificate Manager (ACM).

Enforce encryption in transit: Enforce your defined encryption requirements based on appropriate standards and recommendations to help you meet your organizational, legal, and compliance requirements.

Automate detection of unintended data access: Use tools such as GuardDuty to automatically detect attempts to move data outside of defined boundaries based on data classification level, for example, to detect a trojan that is copying data to an unknown or untrusted network using the DNS protocol.

Authenticate network communications: Verify the identity of communications by using protocols that support authentication, such as Transport Layer Security (TLS) or IPsec.

Haha, I can just imagine the developers trying to explain to the client why they need to upgrade to an ALB just to use WAF. Option A is the clear winner here.

Hmm, I'm not sure about the other options. Encrypting the EBS volumes doesn't really address the data in transit issue, and the WAF stuff seems overkill for this scenario.

I agree, implementing TLS on the NLB is the best approach here. It's a simple but effective way to protect the data.

I think we should go with option A, configuring a TLS listener will encrypt the data in transit.
