This exam validates an examinee’s ability to effectively demonstrate knowledge about securing the AWS platform.  \nIt validates an examinee’s ability to demonstrate:  \n􀁸 An understanding of specialized data classifications and AWS data protection mechanisms.  \n􀁸 An understanding of data-encryption methods and AWS mechanisms to implement them.  \n􀁸 An understanding of secure Internet protocols and AWS mechanisms to implement them.  \n􀁸 A working knowledge of AWS security services and features of services to provide a secure production environment.  \n􀁸 Competency gained from two or more years of production deployment experience using AWS security services and features.  \n􀁸 The ability to make tradeoff decisions with regard to cost, security, and deployment complexity given a set of application requirements.  \n􀁸 An understanding of security operations and risks.  \nExamination Prerequisite  \nIn order to take this examination, you must hold an AWS Certified foundational or role-based certification (associate or professional) in good standing.  \nRecommended AWS Knowledge  \n􀁸 A minimum of five years of IT security experience, designing and implementing security solutions.  \n􀁸 At least two years of hands-on experience securing AWS workloads.  \n􀁸 Security controls for workloads on AWS.  \nExam Preparation  \nThese training courses and materials may be helpful for examination preparation:  \nAWS Training ([aws.amazon.com/training](aws.amazon.com/training))  \n􀁸 AWS Security Fundamentals: A self-paced, online three-hour course  \n􀁸 Advanced Architecting on AWS: An instructor-led, live, or virtual three-day course  \n􀁸 Security Operations on AWS: An instructor-led, live, or virtual three-day course  \n􀁸 AWS Digital Training: Self-paced digital courses with modules focused on security services and topics  \nAWS Whitepapers ([aws.amazon.com/whitepapers](aws.amazon.com/whitepapers)) Kindle and . pdf  \n􀁸 Security and Compliance documentation  \n􀁸 Compliance resources  \nExam Content  \nResponse Types  \nThere are two types of questions on the examination:  \n􀁸 Multiple-choice: Has one correct response and three incorrect responses (distractors) .  \n􀁸 Multiple-response: Has two or more correct responses out of five or more options.  \nSelect one or more responses that best complete the statement or answer the question. Distractors, or incorrect answers, are response options that an examinee with incomplete knowledge or skill would likely choose. However, they are generally plausible responses that fit in the content area defined by the test objective.  \nUnanswered questions are scored as incorrect; there is no penalty for guessing.  \nUnscored Content  \nYour examination may include unscored items that are placed on the test to gather statistical information. These items are not identified on the form and do not affect your score.  \nExam Results  \nThe AWS Certified Security Specialty (SCS-C01) exam is a pass or fail exam. The examination is scored against a minimum standard established by AWS professionals who are guided by certification industry best practices and guidelines.  \nYour results for the examination are reported as a score from 100-1000, with a minimum passing score of 750. Your score shows how you performed on the examination as a whole and whether or not you passed. Scaled scoring models are used to equate scores across multiple exam forms that may have slightly different difficulty levels.  \nYour score report contains a table of classifications of your performance at each section level. This information is designed to provide general feedback concerning your examination performance. The examination uses a compensatory scoring model, which means that you do not need to “pass” the individual sections, only the overall examination. Each section of the examination has a specific weighting, so some sections have more questi","cbCaivR0vh2GBmSD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivR0vh2GBmSD","pdf",564694,"English","# Introduction\n## Examination Prerequisite\n## Recommended AWS Knowledge\n## Exam Preparation\n# Exam Content\n## Response Types\n## Unscored Content\n## Exam Results\n## Content Outline","[{\"question\":\"Who is the AWS Certified Security Specialty (SCS-C01) exam intended for?\",\"answer\":\"It is intended for individuals who perform a security role and need to demonstrate knowledge of securing the AWS platform.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the main prerequisites and recommended AWS knowledge to take the exam?\",\"answer\":\"Candidates must hold an AWS Certified foundational or role-based certification in good standing.
