CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 38

A security and risk team requires a weekly report to detect VM file system changes and validate the integrity of the OS. Which of the following is the BEST solution for this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Configure a FIM agent on the VM and forward syslogs to a central location.
• B. Configure debugging on the VM and forward syslogs to a central location.
• C. Configure an antivirus agent on the VM and create the report through the web GUI.
• D. Configure a FIM agent on the VM and create the report through the web GUI.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because configuring a FIM (File Integrity Monitoring) agent is specifically designed to detect file system changes and validate OS integrity, while forwarding syslogs allows for centralized monitoring. Option B's debugging is not focused on file integrity, option C does not address file system changes, and option D, while similar to A, relies on the web GUI which may not be as effective for the required reporting.
