Question 244 - SCS-C02 discussion

Report
Export

A security engineer is designing a cloud architecture to support an application. The application runs on Amazon EC2 instances and processes sensitive information, including credit card numbers.

The application will send the credit card numbers to a component that is running in an isolated environment. The component will encrypt, store, and decrypt the numbers.

The component then will issue tokens to replace the numbers in other parts of the application.

The component of the application that manages the tokenization process will be deployed on a separate set of EC2 instances. Other components of the application must not be able to store or access the credit card numbers.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

A.
Use EC2 Dedicated Instances for the tokenization component of the application.
Answers
A.
Use EC2 Dedicated Instances for the tokenization component of the application.
B.
Place the EC2 instances that manage the tokenization process into a partition placement group.
Answers
B.
Place the EC2 instances that manage the tokenization process into a partition placement group.
C.
Create a separate VPC. Deploy new EC2 instances into the separate VPC to support the data tokenization.

C.
Create a separate VPC. Deploy new EC2 instances into the separate VPC to support the data tokenization.
D.
Deploy the tokenization code onto AWS Nitro Enclaves that are hosted on EC2 instances.
Answers
D.
Deploy the tokenization code onto AWS Nitro Enclaves that are hosted on EC2 instances.
Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

AWS Nitro Enclaves are isolated and hardened virtual machines that run on EC2 instances and provide a secure environment for processing sensitive dat

a. Nitro Enclaves have no persistent storage, interactive access, or external networking, and they can only communicate with the parent instance through a secure local channel. Nitro Enclaves also support cryptographic attestation, which allows verifying the identity and integrity of the enclave and its code. Nitro Enclaves are ideal for implementing data protection solutions such as tokenization, encryption, and key management.

Using Nitro Enclaves for the tokenization component of the application meets the requirements of isolating the sensitive data from other parts of the application, encrypting and storing the credit card numbers securely, and issuing tokens to replace the numbers. Other components of the application will not be able to access or store the credit card numbers, as they are only available within the enclave.
