ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question

Your company plans to migrate a high-value analytics application to a public IaaS provider. During risk analysis, the security team highlights the possibility that an attacker could exploit a hypervisor vulnerability to pivot from another tenant's virtual machine into yours. Which risk-mitigation strategy most directly reduces the likelihood of this specific threat?

  • Configure auto-scaling groups to terminate and relaunch instances that fail health checks

  • Request and use dedicated hosts that are reserved exclusively for your organization's virtual machines

  • Tighten security group rules to allow only HTTPS traffic inbound to the instances

  • Deploy host-based intrusion detection agents inside every virtual machine
