Which of the following is an effective step for identifying cloud vulnerabilities related to improper configuration?

Question

Options

• AGrant all users administrator-level permissions for easier troubleshooting
• BDisable logging to reduce storage costs and simplify analysis
• CPerform regular vulnerability scans with tools that support cloud environments
• DRely on default security settings provided by cloud service providers

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  5% (2)
• C
  89% (34)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

Option A: Providing all users with administrative access violates the principle of least privilege and significantly increases the risk of accidental or malicious changes to configurations. Option B: Disabling logging impairs visibility into cloud activity, making it difficult to detect suspicious behavior or troubleshoot issues. Logging is a vital security measure, not a cost-saving Option C: Regular vulnerability scans using tools designed for cloud environments help identify misconfigurations, missing patches, and other vulnerabilities. These scans are essential for proactive risk management and are a critical component of a cloud security strategy. Option D: Default settings often prioritize functionality over security and may not meet specific organizational requirements. Relying on them increases the risk of vulnerabilities.
