ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question
Your company plans to migrate a latency-sensitive private cloud application to a new colocation site. During the site visit, you confirm the facility offers redundant UPS modules, multiple CRAC units, and 24/7 guards. However, you learn that all carrier fiber enters the building through the same underground conduit before reaching the meet-me room. From a physical environment perspective, which additional control would best reduce the risk of a single backhoe cut taking the application offline?
Mandate physically diverse fiber entrance pathways on opposite sides of the building for all carrier links.
Add a second Internet service provider that terminates in the same meet-me room.
Negotiate stricter network availability clauses and higher penalties in the carrier service-level agreement.
Deploy a software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) overlay across the existing carrier circuits.
While redundant power and cooling are essential, they do not address the specific risk of a single excavation severing the only telecommunications conduit. The most effective mitigation is to require that carriers use geographically separated entrance facilities (diverse pathways) so that a cut in one conduit does not interrupt connectivity. Simply adding more carriers, extending SLAs, or implementing software-defined WAN cannot eliminate the common-cause failure presented by a single physical entry point; without physical path diversity, all circuits remain vulnerable to the same outage.
