GIAC Certified Incident Handler (GCIH) — Question 79

A company was a victim of bucket squatting. What process would help to prevent this type of attack?

Answer options

• A. Identity verification
• B. Unique bucket classification
• C. Private bucket creation
• D. File evaluation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Identity verification is crucial in preventing unauthorized access to cloud resources, including buckets. By ensuring that only verified users can create or manage buckets, the risk of bucket squatting is significantly reduced. The other options, while important in their own contexts, do not directly address the prevention of unauthorized bucket creation by malicious actors.
