AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C03) - Secure Design Scenario

The video tutorial discusses securing AWS deployments for widget makers by focusing on five key systems: order processing, inventory management, payroll, user data, and website hosting. It emphasizes using IAM groups and policies, securing databases, encrypting data, and configuring security groups. The tutorial highlights the importance of implementing internal security features and ensuring proper access controls to protect data and minimize attack surfaces.

What is the primary method for securing the order processing system's database?

• Encrypting all data

• Implementing IAM groups and policies

• Using a VPN

• Using firewall rules

In the inventory management system, what is crucial to prevent unauthorized changes to inventory levels?

• HR and managers

• All employees

• Only accounting employees

• IT department

What is a key security measure for data stored in S3 buckets?

• Implementing security policies and encryption

• Using public access

• Storing data in plain text

• Allowing access to all users

• It speeds up the transfer

• It reduces storage costs

• It compresses the data

• It encrypts the data during transfer

What should be avoided when configuring roles for web server instances?

• Using specific roles for each instance

• Limiting access to necessary resources

• Assigning admin access roles

• Regularly updating roles

What is essential for the security group configuration of the VPC?

• Allowing all traffic

• Only allowing necessary traffic

• Using default settings

• Disabling all security features
