Question#1

CCM: A hypothetical start-up company called "ABC" provides a cloud based IT management solution. They are growing rapidly and therefore need to put controls in place in order to manage any changes in their production environment.
Which of the following Change Control & Configuration Management production environment specific control should they implement in this scenario?

A. Policies and procedures shall be established for managing the risks associated with applying changes to business-critical or customer (tenant)-impacting (physical and virtual) applications and system-system interface (API) designs and configurations, infrastructure network and systems components.
B. Policies and procedures shall be established, and supporting business processes and technical measures implemented, to restrict the installation of unauthorized software on organizationally-owned or managed user end-point devices (e.g. issued workstations, laptops, and mobile devices) and IT infrastructure network and systems components.
C. All cloud-based services used by the company's mobile devices or BYOD shall be pre-approved for usage and the storage of company business data.
D. None of the above

Question#2

CCM: The Cloud Service Delivery Model Applicability column in the CCM indicates the applicability of the cloud security control to which of the following elements?

A. Mappings to well-known standards and frameworks
B. Service Provider or Tenant/Consumer
C. Physical, Network, Compute, Storage, Application or Data
D. SaaS, PaaS or IaaS

Question#3

In the context of cloud security, which approach prioritizes incoming data logs for threat detection by applying multiple sequential filters?

A. Cascade-and-filter approach
B. Parallel processing approach
C. Streamlined single-filter method
D. Unfiltered bulk analysis

Explanation:
The Cascade-and-filter approach is a method used in cloud security to handle incoming data logs efficiently. It prioritizes logs for threat detection by applying multiple sequential filters, where each filter progressively narrows down the data.
This approach helps in:
Layered threat detection: Early filters eliminate non-critical data, while subsequent filters perform more detailed analysis.
Efficient processing: Reduces the volume of data passed through advanced and resource-intensive filters.
Improved accuracy: Allows focusing on the most relevant security events.
For example, in a cloud environment, the first filter might check for known malicious IP addresses, the second might look for suspicious file types, and subsequent filters may perform behavioral analysis or anomaly detection.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
B. Parallel processing approach: This method processes logs simultaneously, not sequentially, and is less efficient for prioritizing threats.
C. Streamlined single-filter method: Uses a single filter for all data, which lacks depth and thoroughness in identifying complex threats.
D. Unfiltered bulk analysis: This approach is resource-intensive and inefficient, as it does not prioritize or filter logs.

Question#4

Which of the following statements is true in regards to Data Loss Prevention (DLP)?

A. DLP can provide options for quickly deleting all of the data stored in a cloud environment.
B. DLP can classify all data in a storage repository.
C. DLP never provides options for how data found in violation of a policy can be handled.
D. DLP can provide options for where data is stored.
E. DLP can provide options for how data found in violation of a policy can be handled.

Question#5

A. False
B. True
