ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

Your security team is designing a virtualization platform for highly sensitive workloads. They must choose between installing a Type 1 (bare-metal) hypervisor such as VMware ESXi and deploying a Type 2 hypervisor that runs on top of a hardened Linux host OS. From a security-operation perspective, which advantage of the Type 1 hypervisor BEST supports their isolation and hardening requirements?

  • It guarantees dedicated physical CPU cores for each virtual machine, eliminating the possibility of cross-VM side-channel attacks.

  • It removes the need for a separate host operating system, significantly reducing the hypervisor's attack surface that adversaries can target.

  • It lets every guest share the host's kernel, which simplifies patch management and therefore provides stronger security.

  • It automatically encrypts all virtual machine disk files without requiring additional configuration or key management.
