ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

During a design review, you learn that the company's private cloud uses a Type-2 hypervisor installed on top of a general-purpose host operating system. Management wants to reduce the hypervisor's exposed attack surface and lower the likelihood of hyperjacking while continuing to run the same guest virtual machines. Which architectural change would provide the greatest security improvement?

  • Replace the hosted platform with a bare-metal (Type-1) hypervisor that uses hardware-assisted virtualization and secure boot.

  • Deploy host-based intrusion detection systems inside every guest virtual machine.

  • Increase the host operating system's logging level and forward hypervisor logs to the SIEM.

  • Configure VLAN tagging on the virtual switch to isolate traffic between guest networks.
