Increasing the computational power available to applications Reducing the time required for deploying cloud resources Providing an isolated, more secure virtual networking environment Decreasing the overall cost of cloud computing services 2. What is the purpose of a cloud security policy? To specify the cloud infrastructure’s physical specifications To establish the cloud service provider’s marketing strategies To outline security guidelines and practices To define pricing models for cloud services 3. A cloud-based service your company offers is subject to frequent DDoS attacks, affecting availability and performance. Which solution effectively mitigates these types of attacks while ensuring service availability? Cloud-based DDoS protection with traffic analysis Relying on traditional firewalls only Upgrading server hardware to improve performance Limiting access to the service to known users 4. What is the main benefit of using multi-factor authentication (MFA) in cloud environments? Increases storage encryption strength Decreases the time needed for user authentication Reduces the risk of unauthorized access Simplifies user access management 5. Which is NOT a benefit of using cloud-native security tools? Real-time threat detection Improved integration with cloud services Reduced control over hardware Enhanced scalability 6.
