ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question

Your organization operates several virtual firewall appliances in a public IaaS network. Periodic security reviews show that device rulesets sometimes differ from the approved baseline after administrators perform ad-hoc troubleshooting. As the cloud security professional tasked with strengthening configuration management, which control will BEST ensure that every firewall instance continuously enforces the desired configuration and that all modifications are recorded for later audit and rollback?

  • Place all firewall VMs in a dedicated management subnet and restrict administrator access through security groups and jump hosts.

  • Deploy a desired-state configuration management tool that periodically reapplies version-controlled firewall policies to each virtual appliance.

  • Activate the cloud provider's automatic operating system patching service for the firewall virtual machines.

  • Enable comprehensive flow logging on the virtual network and forward the logs to the SIEM for real-time alerting.
