CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-004) — Question 35

A cloud administrator is building a company-standard VM image, which will be based on a public image. Which of the following should the administrator implement to secure the image?

Answer options

• A. ACLs
• B. Least privilege
• C. Hardening
• D. Vulnerability scanning

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as hardening a VM image involves implementing security measures to reduce vulnerabilities and improve the overall security posture of the image. While ACLs, least privilege, and vulnerability scanning are important security practices, they do not specifically refer to the process of securing the image itself as effectively as hardening does.
