ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question

During a post-incident review, a cloud SOC discovers that attackers moved between Linux virtual machines weeks before detection. Analysts receive only syslog from each instance, so early network-level indicators were missing. To close the gap, the security engineer plans to collect a provider-native log that records accepted and rejected traffic for every virtual NIC in each subnet and forward it to the SIEM. Which log source fulfills this requirement?

  • Hypervisor management console logs from the host servers

  • Virtual network flow logs generated by the cloud provider

  • Control-plane API audit trail (e.g., cloud activity logs)

  • Object storage access logs for buckets or containers
