Cloud Security Specialist Quiz Total 10 Questions Please enter your email: 1. Why is continuous monitoring vital for cloud security? Reduces the need for manual audits and assessments Focuses exclusively on performance metrics Detects security threats and vulnerabilities in real-time Enables real-time optimization of cloud resources 2. How do security policies and compliance standards benefit cloud environments? They limit the flexibility and scalability of cloud services, which is beneficial for maintaining order. They significantly increase the complexity and cost of cloud projects without providing clear benefits. They are mainly for marketing purposes, with little impact on actual security. They provide guidelines and frameworks for securing data and services, ensuring adherence to legal and technical standards. 3. How does encryption in transit differ from encryption at rest? Encryption at rest encrypts user credentials only, while encryption in transit focuses on financial transactions.
