Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) — Question 103

How does running applications on distinct virtual networks and only connecting networks as needed help?

Answer options

• A. It reduces hardware costs
• B. It provides dynamic and granular policies with less management overhead
• C. It locks down access and provides stronger data security
• D. It reduces the blast radius of a compromised system
• E. It enables you to configure applications around business groups

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because isolating applications on different virtual networks minimizes the potential damage if one system is compromised, limiting the exposure to other systems. Options A, B, C, and E do not directly address the primary advantage of reducing the blast radius in case of a security incident.
