ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question
During a quarterly security audit of your cloud IAM, you discover that several service accounts have accumulated legacy permissions unrelated to their current functions. Which corrective measure most directly addresses the problem of excessive entitlements?
Enable server-side encryption of all storage buckets and rotate the encryption keys annually.
Enforce VPN and multifactor authentication for all service accounts before they can access the environment.
Replicate the source-code repository to a second region to improve disaster recovery capabilities.
Run scheduled access-certification campaigns that require managers to review and explicitly approve or revoke every entitlement for each account.
Excessive or outdated permissions are an entitlement management issue. Periodic access-certification (attestation) campaigns force resource owners or managers to review every permission granted to each identity and revoke those no longer needed, keeping entitlements aligned with job duties. Multifactor logins, encryption, and repository replication all improve security or availability in other areas, but they do not reduce unnecessary privileges that have already been granted.
