Answer: Preventing IP spoofing and packet sniffing, Applying security patches to RDS instances
The correct answers are B and C. AWS is responsible for protecting against IP spoofing and packet sniffing as part of securing the underlying infrastructure. This is a fundamental aspect of AWS's network security. Additionally, for Amazon RDS, which is a managed service, AWS takes care of applying the latest security patches to the underlying infrastructure, ensuring that the database service remains secure and up-to-date. Options A, D, and E are not AWS's responsibility. Customers are responsible for running virus scans on their EC2 instances, encrypting communication between EC2 instances and the Elastic Load Balancer (if they choose to do so), and configuring security groups and NACLs for their EC2 instances.
