Which of the following is NOT a common cloud security risk?

  1. Data breaches

  2. DDoS attacks

  3. Compliance violations

  4. Physical security breaches


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Physical security breaches are not typically considered a cloud security risk, as cloud providers are responsible for the physical security of their data centers.

What is the primary purpose of a cloud security risk assessment?

  1. To identify and evaluate potential security risks

  2. To develop a cloud security plan

  3. To implement cloud security controls

  4. To monitor cloud security compliance


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The primary purpose of a cloud security risk assessment is to identify and evaluate potential security risks associated with using cloud services.

Which of the following is NOT a common risk mitigation strategy for cloud security?

  1. Encryption

  2. Multi-factor authentication

  3. Regular security audits

  4. Physical security measures


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Physical security measures are not typically considered a risk mitigation strategy for cloud security, as cloud providers are responsible for the physical security of their data centers.

What is the primary responsibility of a cloud security architect?

  1. Designing and implementing cloud security solutions

  2. Managing cloud security operations

  3. Monitoring cloud security compliance

  4. Educating users about cloud security best practices


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The primary responsibility of a cloud security architect is to design and implement cloud security solutions to protect cloud-based assets and data.

Which of the following is NOT a common cloud security compliance standard?

  1. ISO 27001

  2. SOC 2

  3. HIPAA

  4. PCI DSS


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

HIPAA is not a cloud security compliance standard, but rather a healthcare-specific regulation.

What is the primary benefit of using a cloud access security broker (CASB)?

  1. Centralized visibility and control over cloud applications

  2. Improved cloud security posture

  3. Reduced cloud costs

  4. Increased cloud agility


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The primary benefit of using a CASB is to provide centralized visibility and control over cloud applications, enabling organizations to enforce security policies and monitor cloud usage.

Which of the following is NOT a common cloud security threat actor?

  1. Hackers

  2. Insiders

  3. Malware

  4. Physical attackers


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Physical attackers are not typically considered a cloud security threat actor, as cloud providers are responsible for the physical security of their data centers.

What is the primary purpose of a cloud security incident response plan?

  1. To define roles and responsibilities in the event of a cloud security incident

  2. To establish procedures for detecting and responding to cloud security incidents

  3. To document cloud security incident response procedures

  4. To train employees on cloud security incident response procedures


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The primary purpose of a cloud security incident response plan is to establish procedures for detecting and responding to cloud security incidents in a timely and effective manner.

Which of the following is NOT a common cloud security best practice?

  1. Encrypting data at rest and in transit

  2. Implementing multi-factor authentication

  3. Regularly patching and updating cloud systems

  4. Allowing users to access cloud resources without any restrictions


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Allowing users to access cloud resources without any restrictions is not a cloud security best practice, as it can increase the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches.

What is the primary purpose of a cloud security audit?

  1. To assess the effectiveness of cloud security controls

  2. To identify potential cloud security risks

  3. To ensure compliance with cloud security regulations

  4. To educate users about cloud security best practices


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The primary purpose of a cloud security audit is to assess the effectiveness of cloud security controls and identify areas for improvement.

Which of the following is NOT a common cloud security risk management framework?

  1. NIST Cybersecurity Framework

  2. ISO 27001/27002

  3. CIS Cloud Security Benchmark

  4. HIPAA


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

HIPAA is not a cloud security risk management framework, but rather a healthcare-specific regulation.

What is the primary benefit of using a cloud security information and event management (SIEM) system?

  1. Centralized collection and analysis of security logs and events

  2. Improved threat detection and response capabilities

  3. Reduced cloud security costs

  4. Increased cloud agility


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The primary benefit of using a SIEM system is to provide centralized collection and analysis of security logs and events from cloud and on-premises systems, enabling organizations to detect and respond to security threats more effectively.

Which of the following is NOT a common cloud security monitoring tool?

  1. Security information and event management (SIEM) system

  2. Intrusion detection system (IDS)

  3. Vulnerability scanner

  4. Cloud access security broker (CASB)


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A CASB is not a cloud security monitoring tool, but rather a tool for controlling and monitoring access to cloud applications.

What is the primary purpose of a cloud security awareness program?

  1. To educate users about cloud security risks and best practices

  2. To train users on how to use cloud security tools and technologies

  3. To monitor user activity for suspicious behavior

  4. To enforce cloud security policies and procedures


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The primary purpose of a cloud security awareness program is to educate users about cloud security risks and best practices, enabling them to make informed decisions and protect cloud-based assets.

Which of the following is NOT a common cloud security training topic?
