ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question

Your company is building a hybrid cloud environment on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Security policy bans storing permanent access keys on administrator laptops. You are preparing a hardened Linux jump host and must install and configure multi-cloud management tooling that honors the policy while still allowing command-line administration of all three platforms. Which approach best meets these requirements?

  • Use a third-party multi-cloud GUI that aggregates all platforms and keeps each cloud's root API keys in an encrypted file on the jump host.

  • Install the official AWS CLI, Azure CLI, and Google Cloud SDK, configuring each to use identity-federated single sign-on so short-lived tokens are obtained instead of storing long-term credentials.

  • Access every cloud through its web console over HTTPS and enable the browser to remember the necessary usernames and passwords.

  • SSH directly into the underlying hypervisor hosts in each provider's data center and manage resources with vendor-specific command sets.
