ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

Your company hosts sensitive workloads on Amazon EC2. Compliance now requires a host-level control that can hook kernel APIs, watch for buffer-overflow or code-injection attempts, and immediately kill the offending thread even if the instance has no network connectivity. Which specific capability of a host-based intrusion prevention system (HIPS) satisfies this requirement?

  • Kernel-level behavioral analysis that intercepts and blocks malicious system calls

  • File-integrity monitoring that hashes critical system files on a schedule

  • Network anomaly detection that learns normal inbound traffic patterns

  • Agent-based log forwarding to an external SIEM over encrypted channels
