Check What Stuck
Destination CCSP (Second Edition) Knowledge Check
Evaluate your strategic comprehension of cloud security architecture and governance.
Question 1 of 3
Why is traditional physical data destruction ineffective in a public cloud environment?
Explanation: Because cloud data is multi-tenant, highly distributed, and replicated across physical nodes, the customer has no physical access to the media. Cryptographic erasure (crypto-shredding) is the only viable method to render all copies of the data permanently unrecoverable.
Question 2 of 3
Under the Shared Responsibility Model, who is responsible for securing the guest operating system in an Infrastructure as Code (IaaS) deployment?
Explanation: In an IaaS model, the CSP is responsible for the physical infrastructure and the hypervisor. The customer (CSC) is fully responsible for everything from the guest operating system upward, including patching and configuration.
Question 3 of 3
What is the primary security benefit of utilizing an API Gateway in a microservices architecture?
Explanation: An API Gateway acts as a centralized entry point that enforces security policies like rate limiting, authentication (OAuth), and payload validation, protecting microservices from OWASP API security threats.
