Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 184

From a security perspective, what component of a cloud computing infrastructure represents the biggest concern?

Answer options

• A. Hypervisor
• B. Management plane
• C. Object storage
• D. Encryption

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The management plane is crucial because it controls and manages cloud resources, making it a primary target for attackers. If compromised, it can lead to unauthorized access and control over the entire cloud environment. The other components, while important, do not provide the same level of access and control as the management plane.
