Which of the following is NOT a key component of an incident response plan for cloud and virtualized environments?

  1. Identification and containment of the incident

  2. Eradication of the incident

  3. Recovery from the incident

  4. Prevention of future incidents


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Prevention of future incidents is not a key component of an incident response plan. It is a proactive measure that should be taken to reduce the risk of incidents occurring in the first place.

Which of the following is a best practice for securing cloud and virtualized environments?

  1. Use strong passwords and multi-factor authentication

  2. Keep software and firmware up to date

  3. Implement network segmentation and firewalls

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above are best practices for securing cloud and virtualized environments.

Which of the following is a common attack vector for cloud and virtualized environments?

  1. Phishing attacks

  2. Malware attacks

  3. DDoS attacks

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above are common attack vectors for cloud and virtualized environments.

Which of the following is a key challenge in incident response for cloud and virtualized environments?

  1. The distributed nature of cloud and virtualized environments

  2. The lack of visibility into cloud and virtualized environments

  3. The lack of skilled incident response personnel

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above are key challenges in incident response for cloud and virtualized environments.

Which of the following is a recommended tool for incident response in cloud and virtualized environments?

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above are recommended tools for incident response in cloud and virtualized environments.

Which of the following is a best practice for incident response in cloud and virtualized environments?

  1. Establish a clear chain of command and communication

  2. Document all actions taken during the incident response process

  3. Conduct a post-mortem analysis of the incident

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above are best practices for incident response in cloud and virtualized environments.

Which of the following is a common mistake made during incident response in cloud and virtualized environments?

  1. Failing to escalate the incident to the appropriate level

  2. Not communicating effectively with stakeholders

  3. Not taking the time to properly document the incident

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above are common mistakes made during incident response in cloud and virtualized environments.

Which of the following is a key factor in determining the severity of an incident in cloud and virtualized environments?

  1. The impact of the incident on business operations

  2. The sensitivity of the data that was compromised

  3. The likelihood of the incident occurring again

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above are key factors in determining the severity of an incident in cloud and virtualized environments.

Which of the following is a recommended approach for incident response in cloud and virtualized environments?
