CCSP · Question #319
Which of the following types of software is a Type 2 hypervisor dependent on that a Type 1 hypervisor isn't? Response:
The correct answer is C. Operating system. Type 2 hypervisors, also known as hosted hypervisors, require an underlying host operating system to function, unlike Type 1 hypervisors which run directly on the hardware.

Why each option
Type 2 hypervisors, also known as hosted hypervisors, require an underlying host operating system to function, unlike Type 1 hypervisors which run directly on the hardware.
A VPN is a networking technology for secure communication over a public network and is not a dependency for hypervisor types.
A firewall is a network security system that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic, not a required component for hypervisor operation.
A Type 2 hypervisor, such as VirtualBox or VMware Workstation, is installed as an application on a conventional operating system (e.g., Windows, macOS, Linux) and depends on that OS to manage the hardware resources before allocating them to guest virtual machines. In contrast, a Type 1 hypervisor (bare-metal) runs directly on the physical hardware without needing a host OS.
An IDS (Intrusion Detection System) monitors network or system activities for malicious activity or policy violations, and is not a dependency for hypervisors.
