ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question

While performing STRIDE threat modeling for a new multi-tenant SaaS that will run on a public IaaS provider, the development team wants to highlight cloud-specific risks that were not present in their former on-premises deployment. Which risk is MOST directly tied to the provider's virtualization layer and therefore requires special attention in the secure SDLC?

  • SQL injection against the application's data layer

  • Compromise of the hypervisor through a VM escape attack that allows access to other tenants' instances

  • Traditional buffer overflow in native code libraries used by the application

  • End-user phishing campaigns that harvest SaaS credentials
