  1. The AWS account root userCevap

  4. D
    Security Groups applied to database instances
  5. E
    AWS Support personnel accessing physical data centers

Cevap

The AWS account root user and individual IAM users who perform administrative tasks should have Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) enabled.
The correct options are the AWS account root user and individual IAM users who perform administrative tasks. According to AWS security best practices, multi-factor authentication (MFA) should be enabled on the root account to prevent unauthorized access to the most privileged user in the account. Similarly, IAM users, particularly those with administrative privileges, should have MFA enabled to protect daily operational access.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the entities within the AWS environment that represent human users or credentials requiring protection via Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
MFA is applicable to user accounts that log in via the console or CLI, such as the root user and IAM users.
MFA adds an extra layer of security on top of user passwords to verify human identity.
2
Evaluate the non-human or machine-based entities and identify why they do not use MFA.
IAM roles use temporary security credentials and are assumed programmatically, while Security Groups are network firewalls, and physical security is managed by AWS.
These entities do not involve human interactive logins and thus do not support or require MFA configuration by the customer.
