Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) — Question 207

ENISA: In Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), who is responsible for guest systems monitoring?

Answer options

• A. Customer
• B. Cloud Provider
• C. Shared responsibility
• D. Internet Service Provider (ISP)
• E. Data Commissioner

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as in an IaaS model, the customer is responsible for managing and monitoring their guest systems. The cloud provider manages the underlying infrastructure, but the operational responsibilities of the guest systems fall to the customer. Other options do not accurately reflect the responsibility allocation in IaaS.
