Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Questions 241–245 (page: 50)

Three central concepts define what type of data and information an organization is responsible for pertaining to eDiscovery.

Which of the following are the three components that comprise required disclosure?

  1. Possession, ownership, control
  2. Ownership, use, creation
  3. Control, custody, use
  4. Possession, custody, control

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Data that falls under the purview of an eDiscovery request is that which is in the possession, custody, or control of the organization. Although this is an easy concept in a traditional data center, it can be difficult to distinguish who actually possesses and controls the data in a cloud environment due to multitenancy and resource pooling. Although these options provide similar-sounding terms, they are ultimately incorrect.



Which of the following threat types involves the sending of commands or arbitrary data through input fields in an application in an attempt to get that code executed as part of normal processing?

  1. Cross-site scripting
  2. Missing function-level access control
  3. Injection
  4. Cross-site forgery

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

An injection attack is where a malicious actor will send commands or other arbitrary data through input and data fields with the intent of having the application or system execute the code as part of its normal processing and queries. This can trick an application into exposing data that is not intended or authorized to be exposed, or it could potentially allow an attacker to gain insight into configurations or security controls. Missing function- level access control exists where an application only checks for authorization during the initial login process and does not further validate with each function call. Cross-site request forgery occurs when an attack forces an authenticated user to send forged requests to an application running under their own access and credentials. Cross-site scripting occurs when an attacker is able to send untrusted data to a user's browser without going through validation processes.



With a cloud service category where the cloud customer is responsible for deploying all services, systems, and components needed for their applications, which of the following storage types are MOST likely to be available to them?

  1. Structured and hierarchical
  2. Volume and object
  3. Volume and database
  4. Structured and unstructured

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The question is describing the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud offering, and as such, the volume and object storage types will be available to the customer. Structured and unstructured are storage types associated with PaaS, and although the other answers present similar-sounding storage types, they are a mix of real and fake names.



Which of the following roles would be responsible for managing memberships in federations and the use and integration of federated services?

  1. Inter-cloud provider
  2. Cloud service business manager
  3. Cloud service administrator
  4. Cloud service integrator

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The inter-cloud provider is responsible for peering with other cloud services and providers, as well as overseeing and managing federations and federated services. A cloud service administrator is responsible for testing, monitoring, and securing cloud services, as well as providing usage reporting and dealing with service problems. The cloud service integrator is responsible for connecting existing systems and services with a cloud. The cloud service business manager is responsible for overseeing the billing, auditing, and purchasing of cloud services.



Which data state would be most likely to use TLS as a protection mechanism?

  1. Data in use
  2. Data at rest
  3. Archived
  4. Data in transit

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

TLS would be used with data in transit, when packets are exchanged between clients or services and sent across a network. During the data-in-use state, the data is already protected via a technology such as TLS as it is exchanged over the network and then relies on other technologies such as digital signatures for protection while being used. The data-at-rest state primarily uses encryption for stored file objects. Archived data would be the same as data at rest.
