Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) — Question 3

A defining set of rules composed of claims and attributes of the entities in a transaction, which is used to determine their level of access to cloud-based resources is called what?

Answer options

• A. An entitlement matrix
• B. A support table
• C. An entry log
• D. A validation process
• E. An access log

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as an entitlement matrix specifically defines the access rights based on claims and attributes of entities. The other options do not pertain to access control in the context of cloud resources and serve different purposes; for example, a support table relates to customer service, while an access log records access events.
