EMC Proven Professional – Technology Architect — Question 5

A cloud service provider is concerned about the security risks due to velocity-of-attack.
What can the cloud service provider deploy to mitigate the impact of this attack?

Answer options

• A. Containment mechanisms
• B. Role-based access control
• C. Multi-factor authentication
• D. Shredding data-at-rest

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Containment mechanisms are essential in managing and reducing the impact of security threats by isolating affected systems and preventing lateral movement. Role-based access control, multi-factor authentication, and shredding data-at-rest are important for overall security but do not specifically address the immediate risks associated with the velocity of attacks.
