ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question
Your organization runs several public IaaS virtual machines that process regulated data. The security team is worried that a malicious tenant hosted on the same physical server could exploit a hypervisor weakness to escape its guest instance and gain access to your workloads. Which cloud-specific threat category best describes this concern?
Vendor lock-in that limits workload portability between providers
Exploitation of shared technology vulnerabilities resulting in tenant isolation failure
Phishing attacks against the cloud management console
Data remanence caused by insufficient media sanitization
The scenario involves an attacker in one tenant environment leveraging a hypervisor or other shared infrastructure weakness to break the logical separation that normally isolates customers in a multi-tenant cloud. This is commonly classified as an exploitation of shared technology vulnerabilities or isolation failure. Phishing targets user credentials rather than hypervisor flaws; data remanence deals with residual data on retired media; vendor lock-in is a business risk, not a technical cross-tenant threat.
