Certified Cloud Security Engineer (CCSE) — Question 16

A large e-commerce company named ShopZone uses CCP to host its online store. Recently, the company noticed several errors reported by customers while trying to make purchases on their website. They suspect that there may be some issue with the payment processing system. To investigate this issue, the cloud forensic team of the company decided to look at the logs for the payment processing system and identify anomalies that may be causing the problem. Which of the following CCP log categories helps the team gain the relevant information?

Answer options

• A. Component Logs
• B. Security logs
• C. User-written logs
• D. Platform logs

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Component Logs, as they specifically detail the functioning of the components within the payment processing system, helping to identify any errors. Security logs (B) track security-related events but may not provide insight into payment issues. User-written logs (C) are created by users and may not be relevant to system-level anomalies. Platform logs (D) provide information about the overall platform but may not focus on the specific components involved in payment processing.
