ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question

An organization uses a public IaaS provider that exposes its management plane through both a web console and a REST API. The same identity store is leveraged for interactive logins and for programmatic access keys consumed by the company's CI/CD pipeline. To minimize the blast radius if any one credential set is compromised-while still allowing the pipeline to deploy new virtual machines automatically-which of the following controls BEST addresses the management-plane risk?

  • Provision a dedicated service identity with only the required API permissions and disable its ability to sign in to the web console.

  • Configure host-based firewalls on every virtual machine to accept management traffic only from corporate IP addresses.

  • Force all automation traffic through an MFA-protected bastion host before it reaches the provider endpoints.

  • Raise the provider's default service quotas for the automation account to prevent API throttling during deployments.
