CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 337

A systems administrator is concerned about vulnerabilities within cloud computing instances. Which of the following is most important for the administrator to consider when architecting a cloud computing environment?

Answer options

• A. SQL injection
• B. TOC/TOU
• C. VM escape
• D. Tokenization
• E. Password spraying

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, VM escape, as it represents a significant risk in cloud environments where virtual machines can be compromised. Other options like SQL injection and password spraying are important vulnerabilities, but they are more relevant in application security rather than the architecture of cloud computing environments.
