NEW QUESTION # 26
Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of cloud computing?
- A. Metered service
- B. Reduced personnel cost
- C. On-demand self service
- D. Resource Pooling
Answer: B
Explanation:
The characteristics of cloud computing are
1. 0n-demand self-service: A consumer can unilaterally provision computing capabilities, such as server time and network storage, as needed automatically without requiring human interaction with each service provider.
2. Broad network access: Capabilities are available over the network and accessed through standard mechanisms that promote use by heterogeneous thin or thick client platforms(e.g, mobile phones, tablets, laptops and workstations).
3. Resource pooling: The provider's computing resources are pooled to serve multiple consumers using a multi-tenant model, with different physical and virtual resources dynamically assigned and reassigned according to consumer demand. There is a sense of location independence in that the customer generally has no control or knowledge over the exact location of the provided resources but may be able to specify location at a higher level of abstraction(e.g, country, state or datacenter).
Examples of resources include storage, processing, memory and network bandwidth.
4. Rapid elasticity: Capabilities can be elastically provisioned and released, in some cases automatically, to scale rapidly outward and inward commensurate with demand. To the consumer, the capabilities available for provisioning often appear to be unlimited and can be appropriated in any quantity at anytime.
5. Measured service: Cloud systems automatically control and optimize resource use by leveraging a metering capability at some level of abstraction appropriate to the type of service(e.g, storage, processing, bandwidth and active user accounts).
Resource usage can be monitored, controlled and reported, providing transparency for the provider and consumer.

NEW QUESTION # 29
Like security and compliance. BC/DR is not a shared responsibility.
- A. True
- B. False
Answer: A
Explanation:
This is True
Like security and compliance, BC/DR is a shared responsibility. There are aspects that the cloud provider has to manage, but the cloud customer is also ultimately responsible for how they use and manage the cloud service. This is especially true when planning for outages of the cloud provider (or parts of the cloud provider's service).

NEW QUESTION # 41
Which of the following authentication is most secured?
- A. Username and encrypted password
- B. Bio metric Access
- C. Active Directory
- D. Multi-factor Authentication
Answer: D
Explanation:
All privileged user accounts should use multi-factor authentication(MFA). If possible, all cloud accounts(even individual user accounts) should use MFA. It's one of the single most effective security controls to defend against a wide range of attacks. This is also true regardless of the service model: MFA is just as important for SaaS as it is for IaaS.

NEW QUESTION # 45
Which of the following best describes the responsibility for security in a cloud environment?
- A. Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) and Cloud Service Customers (CSCs) share security responsibilities.The allocation of responsibilities is constant.
- B. Cloud Service Customers (CSCs) are solely responsible for security in the cloud environment. The Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) are accountable.

Explanation:
The shared security responsibility model in cloud environments clarifies that CSPs and CSCs both have roles, with specific responsibilities varying based on the service model (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS). In IaaS, CSCs handle more security, while CSPs manage most security in SaaS. Reference: [CCSK Study Guide, Domain 1 - Cloud Security Scope and Responsibilities]
