Question

A company uses Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) containers that have the Fargate launch type. The containers run web and mobile applications that are written in Java and Node.js. To meet network segmentation requirements, each of the company's business units deploys applications in its own dedicated AWS account. Each business unit stores container images in an Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR) private registry in its own account. A security engineer must recommend a solution to scan ECS containers and ECR registries for vulnerabilities in operating systems and programming language libraries. The company's audit team must be able to identify potential vulnerabilities that exist in any of the accounts where applications are deployed. Which solution will meet these requirements?

Options

  • AIn each account, update the ECR registry to use Amazon Inspector instead of the default
  • BIn each account, configure AWS Config to monitor the configuration of the ECS containers and
  • CIn each account, configure AWS Audit Manager to scan the ECS containers and the ECR
  • DIn each account, configure Amazon GuardDuty to scan the ECS containers and the ECR registry.
