Question 1

Jayson Smith works as a cloud security engineer in CloudWorld SecCo Pvt. Ltd. This is a third-party vendor that provides connectivity and transport services between cloud service providers and cloud consumers. Select the actor that describes CloudWorld SecCo Pvt. Ltd. based on the NIST cloud deployment reference architecture?



Answer : C


Question 2

Rachel McAdams works as a cloud security engineer in an MNC. A DRaaS company has provided a disasterrecovery site to her organization. The disaster recovery sites have partially redundant equipment with daily or weekly data synchronization provision; failover occurs within hours or days with minimum data loss. Based on this information, which of the following disaster recovery sites is provided by the DRaaS company to Rachel's organization?



Answer : A

The description provided indicates that the disaster recovery site is a Warm Site. Here's why:

Partially Redundant Equipment: Warm sites are equipped with some of the system hardware, software, telecommunications, and power sources.

Data Synchronization: They have provisions for daily or weekly data synchronization, which aligns with the description given.

Failover Time: Failover to a warm site typically occurs within hours or days, as mentioned.

Minimum Data Loss: Due to the regular synchronization, there is minimal data loss in the event of a failover.

Reference: A Warm Site is a type of disaster recovery site that sits between a hot site, which is fully equipped and ready to take over immediately, and a cold site, which is an empty data center that requires setup before use. The warm site's readiness and partial redundancy make it suitable for organizations that need a balance between cost and downtime.


Question 3

An organization wants to securely connect to the AWS environment with a speed of 20 Gbps directly through its data centers, branch offices, and colocation facilities to ensure that its customers can securely access public (objects stored in Amazon S3) and private (limited access features such as VPC) resources by bypassing the internet service providers in the path. Which of the following AWS services can be helpful for the organization?



Answer : C


Question 4

Richard would like to manage, control, and monitor the access to important resources in his organization. Which service in Azure AD can enable Richard to manage, control, and monitor the access to resources in Azure. Azure AD. and other Microsoft online services such as Microsoft Intune or Microsoft 365?



Answer : A


Question 5

Richard Roxburgh works as a cloud security engineer in an IT company. His organization was dissatisfied with the services of its previous cloud service provider. Therefore, in January 2020, his organization adopted AWS cloud-based services and shifted all workloads and data in the AWS cloud. Richard wants to provide complete security to the hosted applications before deployment and while running in the AWS ecosystem. Which of the following automated security assessment services provided by AWS can be used by Richard to improve application security and check the application for any type of vulnerability or deviation from the best practices automatically?



Answer : B

Amazon Inspector: It is an automated security assessment service that helps improve the security and compliance of applications deployed on AWS1.

Automated Scans: Amazon Inspector automatically scans workloads, such as Amazon EC2 instances, containers, and Lambda functions, for vulnerabilities and unintended network exposure1.

Security Best Practices: It checks for deviations from best practices and provides detailed findings that include information about the nature of the threat, the affected resources, and recommendations for remediation1.

Integration with AWS: As an AWS-native service, Amazon Inspector is well-integrated into the AWS ecosystem, making it suitable for Richard's requirements to secure applications before deployment and while running1.

Exclusion of Other Options: AWS CloudFormation is used for infrastructure as code, AWS Control Tower for governance, and Amazon CloudFront for content delivery, none of which are automated security assessment services1.

Question 6

Rachel McAdams works as a senior cloud security engineer in a cloud service provider company. Owing to the robust services and security features provided by her organization, the number of cloud consumers continues to increase. To mee the increasing cloud consumer requirements, her organization decided to build more data centers. Therefore, Rachel's organization formed a new team to design and construct data centers. Rachel is also part of the team and was given the responsibility of designing the data center. How can Racheal maintain

a stable temperature in the HVAC unit?



Answer : A

Explore

HVAC Function: The primary function of an HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system in a data center is to remove the excess heat generated by the equipment to prevent overheating1.

Heat Removal: The HVAC system should be designed to take the heat generated by the data center equipment outside. This is typically achieved through a combination of air conditioning and ventilation systems1.

Cool Air Supply: Simultaneously, the system must supply cool air inside to maintain the equipment at optimal operating temperatures. This is often done using chilled water systems, air conditioners, and controlled airflow management1.

Temperature Stability: Maintaining a stable temperature within the recommended range is crucial for the longevity and reliability of data center equipment. The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) recommends keeping data center temperatures between 64 and 81 degrees Fahrenheit2.

Design Considerations: Rachel should consider the layout of the data center, the heat output of the equipment, and the local climate to design an HVAC system that effectively manages the temperature1.

Question 7

Christina Hendricks recently joined an MNC as a cloud security engineer. Owing to robust provisions for storing an enormous quantity of data, security features, and cost-effective services offered by AWS, her organization migrated its applications and data from an on-premises environment to the AWS cloud. Christina's organization generates structured, unstructured, and semi-structured dat

a. Christina's team leader asked her to store block-level data in AWS storage services. Which of the following AWS storage services should be used by Christina to store block-level data?



Answer : A

Block-Level Storage: Block-level storage is a type of data storage typically used for storing file systems and handling raw storage volumes. It allows for individual management of data blocks1.

Amazon EBS: Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) provides high-performance block storage service designed for use with Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) for both throughput and transaction-intensive workloads at any scale2.

Data Types: Amazon EBS is suitable for structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data, making it a versatile choice for Christina's organization's needs2.

Use Cases: Common use cases for Amazon EBS include databases, enterprise applications, containerized applications, big data analytics engines, file systems, and media workflows2.

Exclusion of Other Options: Amazon Glacier is for long-term archival storage, Amazon EFS is for file storage, and Amazon S3 is for object storage. These services do not provide block-level storage like Amazon EBS does3.
