Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 29

Which of the following can be useful for protecting cloud customers from a denial-of-service (DoS) attack against another customer hosted in the same cloud?

Answer options

• A. Reservations
• B. Measured service
• C. Limits
• D. Shares

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Limits are effective in preventing a single user from consuming excessive resources, thereby protecting other customers from potential DoS attacks. Reservations, measured service, and shares do not directly mitigate the impact of such attacks on other customers in the cloud.
