ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

Your organization is decomposing a monolithic payroll application into a set of containerized microservices that communicate through synchronous REST calls on the internal network. During operational risk analysis of these service-to-service integrations, which potential issue represents the most critical threat of triggering a widespread production outage if it is not explicitly mitigated?

  • Difficulty in correlating audit logs because services record events using different time zones

  • Greater susceptibility to SQL injection attacks against each microservice's individual data store

  • Increased network bandwidth consumption from larger JSON payloads exchanged between services

  • Failure of a downstream microservice causing blocking calls that cascade and bring down multiple dependent services
