ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

To reduce the chance of developers unintentionally bypassing access control, a DevSecOps engineer recommends adopting declarative security for an internal microservice. Which technique best aligns with this recommendation?

  • Add code to log and re-throw security exceptions whenever input validation fails

  • Encrypt all inter-service requests with TLS 1.3 and mutual authentication

  • Embed role checks in each controller method using explicit if-else logic

  • Manage endpoint authorization rules in an external YAML policy file loaded by the service at runtime
