ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question

A company is concerned that virtual machines in its public-cloud VPC can still initiate east-west connections to other subnets even when each subnet has its own network security group (NSG). The cloud security architect is told to move toward a zero-trust model so that every packet between workloads is evaluated against identity, device posture, and real-time context instead of static IP rules. Which control BEST meets this requirement without adding a traditional perimeter firewall appliance?

  • Migrate the workloads into a private cloud and separate them with dedicated VLANs.

  • Deploy a traditional next-generation firewall at the VPC's internet gateway to inspect all traffic.

  • Broaden the NSG CIDR ranges so all subnets are included under a single ruleset.

  • Implement microsegmentation with an identity-aware, software-defined firewall that applies tag-based policies at each workload.
