Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI v10) — Question 170

How will you categorize a cybercrime that took place within a CSP's cloud environment?

Answer options

• A. Cloud as a Subject
• B. Cloud as a Tool
• C. Cloud as an Audit
• D. Cloud as an Object

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is 'Cloud as a Subject' because the cloud environment itself is the primary focus of the cybercrime. The other options do not accurately reflect the nature of the crime, as 'Cloud as a Tool' implies the cloud was used for the crime, 'Cloud as an Audit' suggests it is a process of reviewing, and 'Cloud as an Object' does not capture the essence of the incident occurring within the cloud.
