Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) — Question 189

How can cloud providers support a secure use of virtualization for cloud consumers?

Answer options

• A. By creating a secure chain of processes from the image used to run the VM through to a boot process with security and integrity
• B. By locking, denying, or preventing access and then gradually enabling items as needed
• C. By providing professional services to assist the consumer with configurations
• D. Unfortunately, this is not a possible option for cloud consumers
• E. By enabling full access to the consumer

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, highlights the importance of establishing a secure process from the virtual machine image to the boot sequence, ensuring security and integrity throughout. Options B and C focus on access control and professional assistance, which do not directly address the foundational security of virtualization itself. Option D incorrectly states that secure virtualization is not possible, and option E suggests unrestricted access, which would compromise security.
