Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) — Question 90

What is it called when a customer's information and/or processes are compromised by the actions of another customer in a multi-tenancy environment?

Answer options

• A. Information leakage
• B. Data loss
• C. Failure to thrive
• D. Relationship failure
• E. Isolation failure

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The correct answer, Isolation failure, refers to the breakdown of separation between different tenants' data and processes in a multi-tenancy environment. Information leakage and data loss are broader concepts that do not specifically address the multi-tenancy context, while failure to thrive and relationship failure are not relevant to data security issues.
