A company has implemented Amazon Macie, AWS Firewall Manager, Amazon Inspector, and AWS Shield Advanced within their AWS environment. They are seeking a solution to be alerted in the event of a DDoS attack targeting their AWS account. Which of the following solutions would effectively fulfill this requirement?
Explanation:
The correct answer is D. AWS Shield Advanced is specifically designed to provide enhanced protection against DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks. By configuring an Amazon CloudWatch alarm to monitor Shield Advanced metrics, you can effectively detect and receive alerts for any ongoing DDoS attacks against your AWS account. While the other services mentioned have their own security roles, AWS Shield Advanced is the most appropriate tool for DDoS protection and alerting.
