Question #: 44
Topic #: 4
[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.

Option A is the clear winner here. Throwing a TLS party on the NLB is the way to secure that data in transit! Woo-hoo!

But wouldn't AWS Shield Advanced and AWS WAF provide better protection?

Option D encrypting the EBS volumes is a good practice, but it doesn't address the security of the data in transit. Gotta go with Option A on this one.

Changing to an Application Load Balancer and attaching WAF is a good idea, but it doesn't specifically target the security of data in transit. I'd go with Option A.

Hmm, AWS Shield Advanced and WAF are great for DDoS protection, but they don't address the security of data in transit. I think Option A is the way to go.

Option A is the correct answer. Configuring a TLS listener and adding the server certificate on the NLB will ensure secure data transmission to the web tier.
