ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question

While monitoring a customer's public IaaS environment you notice an instance suddenly initiating large volumes of outbound traffic to an unfamiliar external IP range. Company policy states that you must contain the threat, preserve volatile evidence, and avoid disrupting other tenants that share the same hypervisor. Which response action best satisfies these requirements?

  • Power off the affected instance from the hypervisor console, then create a block-level snapshot of its virtual disks for analysis.

  • Terminate the compromised instance and redeploy it from a trusted golden image to restore service quickly.

  • Detach the instance's virtual network interface (or place it in an isolated security group) and immediately perform a live memory capture through the cloud provider's API.

  • Collect flow logs for later analysis and await formal customer authorization before taking any containment measures.
