Certificate of Cloud Auditing Knowledge (CCAK) — Question 152

Management planes deployed in cloud environments may pose a risk of potentially allowing access to the entire environment. Which of the following controls is MOST appropriate for mitigating this risk?

Answer options

• A. Regular audits
• B. Increased monitoring
• C. Change management
• D. Access restriction

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Access restriction is the most effective way to mitigate the risk of unauthorized access to the entire environment, as it limits who can interact with the management plane. Regular audits, increased monitoring, and change management are important practices but do not directly prevent access to sensitive areas of the environment.
