Which action will provide the MOST secure protection?
Remove Amazon S3 access permissions from the SageMaker execution role.
Encrypt the weights of the CNN model.
Encrypt the training and validation dataset.
Enable network isolation for training jobs.
Explanations:
Removing Amazon S3 access permissions from the SageMaker execution role would prevent the model from accessing the training data stored in S3. This could hinder the training process, but it does not address the concern of protecting data from being accessed or transferred by malicious code once the training job is running.
Encrypting the weights of the CNN model provides a layer of security for the model after it has been trained but does not protect the training data during the training process. Malicious code could still access the raw training data and transfer it externally.
Encrypting the training and validation datasets secures the data at rest and in transit, but it does not protect the data from being accessed by malicious code running within the training environment itself. The code could still decrypt and use the data while it is in the training process.
Enabling network isolation for training jobs ensures that the training job does not have access to the internet or any external network resources. This significantly reduces the risk of data being transferred to a remote host by malicious code, providing the most secure protection for sensitive government data during training.
