While reviewing a cloud-based environment, you detect a user resource that appears open to internet traffic. Which option best confirms that unauthorized users can interact with the resource?
Attach a debugging library to the resource and inspect internal logs
Ask the cloud administrator to analyze internal routes
Send scanning requests from a remote system to check if the resource responds to unvalidated attempts
Review environment variables for open network ports
Sending scanning requests from an external vantage point is an effective way to confirm whether the resource is accessible outside the protected environment. This approach demonstrates actual responsiveness, which helps validate the exposure. Attaching a debugging library provides limited local insight and does not offer an external perspective. Environment variables may reveal open ports but do not prove interaction from outside the boundary. Asking the administrator to review internal routing does not establish that external connectivity is functional without testing it externally.
