CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 79

The InfoSec team has directed compliance database activity monitoring without agents on a hosted database server in the public IaaS. Which of the following configurations is needed to ensure this requirement is achieved?

Answer options

• A. Configure the agent configuration file to log to the syslog server.
• B. Configure sniffing mode on database traffic.
• C. Implement built-in database tracking functionality.
• D. Implement database encryption and secure copy to the NAS.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct because configuring sniffing mode allows for monitoring database traffic without the need for agents, which aligns with the requirement. Options A, C, and D do not address the need for agentless monitoring of database activity directly; they focus on logging, built-in tracking, and data protection respectively.
