Palo Alto Networks Cybersecurity Entry-Level Technician (PCCET) — Question 5

What are two key characteristics of a Type 1 hypervisor? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. is hardened against cyber attacks
• B. runs without any vulnerability issues
• C. runs within an operating system
• D. allows multiple, virtual (or guest) operating systems to run concurrently on a single physical host computer

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

Option B is correct because a Type 1 hypervisor indeed operates directly on the hardware, which reduces the number of vulnerabilities compared to other types. Option D is also correct as it allows multiple virtual machines to run at the same time on a single physical server. Options A and C are incorrect since a Type 1 hypervisor does not run within an operating system and while it is designed to be secure, it cannot be entirely free of vulnerabilities.
