What is the first stage of the cloud data lifecycle where security controls can be implemented?

  1. Use
  2. Store
  3. Share
  4. Create

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The "store" phase of the cloud data lifecycle, which typically occurs simultaneously with the "create" phase, or immediately thereafter, is the first phase where security controls can be implemented. In most case, the manner in which the data is stored will be based on its classification.



What controls the formatting and security settings of a volume storage system within a cloud environment?

  1. Management plane
  2. SAN host controller
  3. Hypervisor
  4. Operating system of the host

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Once a storage LUN is allocated to a virtual machine, the operating system of that virtual machine will format, manage, and control the file system and security of the data on that LUN.



What does SDN stand for within a cloud environment?

  1. Software-dynamic networking
  2. Software-defined networking
  3. Software-dependent networking
  4. System-dynamic nodes

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Software-defined networking separates the administration of network filtering and network forwarding to allow for distributed administration.



From a legal perspective, what is the most important first step after an eDiscovery order has been received by the cloud provider?

  1. Notification
  2. Key identification
  3. Data collection
  4. Virtual image snapshots

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The contract should include requirements for notification by the cloud provider to the cloud customer upon the receipt of such an order. This serves a few important purposes. First, it keeps communication and trust open between the cloud provider and cloud customers. Second, and more importantly, it allows the cloud customer to potentially challenge the order if they feel they have the grounds or desire to do so.



Which of the following would make it more likely that a cloud provider would be unwilling to satisfy specific certification requirements?

  1. Resource pooling
  2. Virtualization
  3. Multitenancy
  4. Regulation

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

With cloud providers hosting a number of different customers, it would be impractical for them to pursue additional certifications based on the needs of a specific customer. Cloud environments are built to a common denominator to serve the greatest number of customers, and especially within a public cloud model, it is not possible or practical for a cloud provider to alter their services for specific customer demands.
