Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDSs), and virtual private networks (VPNs) are all types of security controls that can be used to protect IaaS resources from unauthorized access.

Which of the following is a best practice for managing security in a multi-tenant IaaS environment?

  1. Implementing role-based access control (RBAC)

  2. Using security groups to isolate resources

  3. Regularly monitoring and auditing security logs

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Implementing role-based access control (RBAC), using security groups to isolate resources, and regularly monitoring and auditing security logs are all best practices for managing security in a multi-tenant IaaS environment.

Which of the following is a type of security assessment that can be used to identify vulnerabilities in an IaaS environment?

  1. Penetration testing

  2. Vulnerability scanning

  3. Risk assessment

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, and risk assessment are all types of security assessments that can be used to identify vulnerabilities in an IaaS environment.

Which of the following is a best practice for securing IaaS resources against DDoS attacks?

  1. Using a DDoS mitigation service

  2. Implementing rate limiting

  3. Using a web application firewall (WAF)

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Using a DDoS mitigation service, implementing rate limiting, and using a web application firewall (WAF) are all best practices for securing IaaS resources against DDoS attacks.

Which of the following is a type of security control that can be used to protect IaaS resources from data leakage?

  1. Data loss prevention (DLP)

  2. Encryption

  3. Tokenization

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Data loss prevention (DLP), encryption, and tokenization are all types of security controls that can be used to protect IaaS resources from data leakage.

Which of the following is a best practice for managing security in a hybrid cloud environment?

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Implementing network segmentation, using a firewall, and implementing intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS) are all best practices for securing IaaS resources against network infiltration attacks.

Which of the following is a type of security control that can be used to protect IaaS resources from phishing attacks?

  1. User awareness training

  2. Email filtering

  3. Multi-factor authentication (MFA)

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

User awareness training, email filtering, and multi-factor authentication (MFA) are all types of security controls that can be used to protect IaaS resources from phishing attacks.
