ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question

During an internal audit of a cloud-hosted retail application, the security team must confirm that the new API gateway continues to correctly enforce authentication and remains available when subjected to the forecast holiday traffic spike of 5,000 requests per second. Which type of testing incorporated into the CI/CD pipeline would best address both requirements with a single test run?

  • Run dynamic application security testing concurrently with scripted load and stress tests against the API gateway in the staging environment.

  • Schedule a black-box penetration test of the production gateway during a normal off-peak maintenance window.

  • Perform a static code analysis of the gateway microservice during the build stage.

  • Conduct a manual peer code review focused on authentication routines in the gateway source repository.
