ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question

For a new analytics workload, your organization has migrated several Linux virtual machines to a public IaaS provider. All instances are deployed from the provider's hardened base image and use provider-managed, encrypted block storage. The contract states that the provider secures the physical facilities, hardware, and hypervisor, while the tenant is responsible for everything running inside each instance. Which risk remains primarily with your organization and therefore must be mitigated by your security team?

  • Large-scale distributed denial-of-service attacks against the provider's backbone network causing outages

  • Compromise of the cloud provider's disk encryption service exposing stored data in clear text

  • Unpatched software within the guest operating system enabling remote code execution

  • Hypervisor escape via side-channel attacks from other tenants on the same physical host
