List of questions
Question 121
Why is early integration of pre-deployment testing crucial in a cybersecurity project?
It identifies issues before full deployment, saving time and resources.
It increases the overall testing time and costs.
It allows skipping final verification tests.
It eliminates the need for continuous integration.
Integrating testing early helps identify security vulnerabilities and configuration issues before they reach production, reducing remediation costs and time.
Reference: [Security Guidance v5, Domain 10 - Application Security]
Question 122
What process involves an independent examination of records, operations, processes, and controls within an organization to ensure compliance with cybersecurity policies, standards, and regulations?
Risk assessment
Audit
Penetration testing
Incident response
Auditing is an independent review process that validates adherence to policies, regulations, and standards. It is essential in assessing security posture.
Reference: [Security Guidance v5, Domain 3 - Compliance][16source].
Question 123
Which of the following best describes the primary benefit of utilizing cloud telemetry sources in cybersecurity?
They reduce the cost of cloud services.
They provide visibility into cloud environments.
They enhance physical security.
They encrypt cloud data at rest.
Cloud telemetry provides detailed insights and visibility into security events and system behaviors in cloud environments, which helps detect and respond to threats.
Reference: [Security Guidance v5, Domain 6 - Security Monitoring]
Question 124
How does the variability in Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems across cloud providers impact a multi-cloud strategy?
Adds complexity by requiring separate configurations and integrations.
Ensures better security by offering diverse IAM models.
Reduces costs by leveraging different pricing models.
Simplifies the management by providing standardized IAM protocols.
Each cloud provider may use different IAM protocols and configurations, increasing complexity and requiring customized integration for each cloud environment.
Reference: [CCSK Study Guide, Domain 5 - Identity and Access Management]
Question 125
In the shared security model, how does the allocation of responsibility vary by service?
Shared responsibilities should be consistent across all services.
Based on the per-service SLAs for security.
Responsibilities are the same across IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS in the shared model.
Responsibilities are divided between the cloud provider and the customer based on the service type.
The division of security responsibilities changes according to the service model. In IaaS, CSCs handle more security responsibilities, while in SaaS, the CSP manages more of the security aspects.
Reference: [Security Guidance v5, Domain 1 - Shared Responsibility Model][17source].
Question 126
How can Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies on keys ensure adherence to the principle of least privilege?
By rotating keys on a regular basis
By using default policies for all keys
By specifying fine-grained permissions
By granting root access to administrators
Fine-grained permissions enable specific control over who can access certain resources, thus enforcing the least privilege principle.
Reference: [Security Guidance v5, Domain 5 - IAM]
Question 127
What is the primary purpose of the CSA Security, Trust, Assurance, and Risk (STAR) Registry?
To provide cloud service rate comparisons
To certify cloud services for regulatory compliance
To document security and privacy controls of cloud offerings
To manage data residency and localization requirements
The CSA STAR Registry provides transparency by listing security and privacy controls of CSPs, helping customers assess provider security.
Reference: [CCSK Overview, STAR Registry]
Question 128
Which cloud service model allows users to access applications hosted and managed by the provider, with the user only needing to configure the application?
Software as a Service (SaaS)
Database as a Service (DBaaS)
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
SaaS enables users to access hosted applications managed by the provider, with only minor configuration by the customer.
Reference: [CCSK Study Guide, Domain 1 - Service Models]
Question 129
What primary purpose does object storage encryption serve in cloud services?
It compresses data to save space
It speeds up data retrieval times
It monitors unauthorized access attempts
It secures data stored as objects
Encryption in object storage is used to secure stored data and protect it from unauthorized access, ensuring confidentiality.
Reference: [Security Guidance v5, Domain 9 - Data Security]
Question 130
What is the primary focus during the Preparation phase of the Cloud Incident Response framework?
