What key characteristic differentiates cloud networks from traditional networks?

  1. Cloud networks are software-defined networks (SDNs)
  2. Cloud networks rely on dedicated hardware appliances
  3. Cloud networks are less scalable than traditional networks
  4. Cloud networks have the same architecture as traditional networks

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The key characteristic that differentiates cloud networks from traditional networks is that cloud networks are often software-defined networks (SDNs). This means that network management, configuration, and provisioning in the cloud are handled through software, rather than relying on traditional hardware-based network components. SDNs allow for greater flexibility, scalability, and automation, enabling cloud providers to dynamically adjust resources to meet changing demands.



What is a common characteristic of default encryption provided by cloud providers for data at rest?

  1. It is not available without an additional premium service
  2. It always requires the customer's own encryption keys
  3. It uses the cloud provider's keys, often at no additional cost
  4. It does not support encryption for data at rest

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Many cloud providers offer default encryption for data at rest, which is typically enabled automatically for data stored within the cloud. In these cases, the encryption is often done using the cloud provider's keys as part of the provider’s security infrastructure, and it is usually provided at no additional cost to the customer. This ensures that data is protected while at rest, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.



Why is it essential to include key metrics and periodic reassessment in cybersecurity governance?

  1. To meet legal requirements and avoid fines
  2. To ensure effective and continuous improvement of security measures
  3. To document all cybersecurity incidents and monitor them over time
  4. To reduce the number of security incidents to zero

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Including key metrics and periodic reassessment in cybersecurity governance is essential for ensuring the effective and continuous improvement of security measures. Metrics provide a way to assess the current state of security, identify gaps, and measure progress over time. Periodic reassessment allows organizations to adapt to emerging threats and vulnerabilities, ensuring that security controls remain relevant and effective as the threat landscape evolves.
While meeting legal requirements is important, the primary reason for metrics and reassessment is continuous improvement, not just legal compliance. Documenting cybersecurity incidents is important, but the main focus of key metrics and reassessment is improving and adapting security strategies. Zero security incidents is not feasible; the goal is to reduce incidents and manage risk, not to eliminate all incidents entirely.



What is a primary objective of cloud governance in an organization?

  1. Implementing multi-tenancy and resource pooling.
  2. To align cloud usage with corporate objectives
  3. Simplifying scalability and automating resource management.
  4. Enhancing user experience and reducing latency

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The primary objective of cloud governance in an organization is to align cloud usage with corporate objectives.
Cloud governance ensures that the cloud resources, services, and strategies are used effectively and efficiently, supporting the organization’s overall goals and priorities. It involves establishing policies, compliance measures, and management practices to ensure that cloud adoption and usage are aligned with business needs, security requirements, and regulatory obligations.
Implementing multi-tenancy and resource pooling is important for cloud infrastructure but is more related to the underlying technology rather than governance. Simplifying scalability and automating resource management are benefits of cloud environments, but they are more about cloud architecture and operations than governance. Enhancing user experience and reducing latency are concerns of performance optimization and user interface design, not the primary focus of cloud governance.
