1. What is the benefit of implementing a secure software development lifecycle (SDLC) in cloud applications?

Simplifies the application design process

Reduces vulnerabilities in cloud applications

Faster deployment of applications

Decreases the need for user authentication

2. How does containerization improve cloud security?

Increasing the number of required user authentications

Reducing the use of encryption technologies

By consolidating all applications into a single container

Isolating applications into separate containers

3. For containerized applications, what security practice is essential to prevent vulnerabilities?

Using default container configurations for convenience

Scanning containers for vulnerabilities

Deploying containers directly from unverified sources

Limiting container scalability options

4. What is the primary purpose of using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) in cloud security?

To encrypt data at rest in cloud storage

To provide a user-friendly interface for managing cloud resources

To protect web applications by filtering and monitoring HTTP traffic

To monitor and adjust cloud resource usage for cost optimization

5. Why is continuous monitoring vital for cloud security?

Detects security threats and vulnerabilities in real-time

Focuses exclusively on performance metrics

Enables real-time optimization of cloud resources

Reduces the need for manual audits and assessments

6. Which Azure service provides a fully managed, scalable Kubernetes container orchestration service?

Azure Functions

Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

Azure Virtual Machines

Azure Container Instances (ACI)

7. What is the benefit of using a virtual private cloud (VPC) in cloud computing?

Reducing the time required for deploying cloud resources

Providing an isolated, more secure virtual networking environment

Increasing the computational power available to applications

Decreasing the overall cost of cloud computing services

8. What does the concept of ‘security by design’ entail in cloud computing?

Adding security features only after deployment

Integrating security throughout the development lifecycle

Focusing solely on physical security measures

Prioritizing performance over security

9. What is the impact of shadow IT on cloud security?

Increases the organization’s control over IT resources

Improves the performance of cloud services

Reduces IT costs by leveraging unauthorized resources

Introduces security risks by circumventing security policies

10. An organization is deploying a new application in the cloud which will handle sensitive customer data. The application must be compliant with international data protection laws. Which strategy should be implemented to ensure compliance and secure data handling?

Implementing encryption for data in transit only

Multiple regions with data residency compliance and robust encryption

Using default cloud provider security settings

Deploying in a single region for simplicity
