The first thing that the systems administrator must do before planning a penetration test for company resources that are hosted in a public cloud is to consult the cloud services provider’s policies and guidelines. Penetration testing is a type of security assessment that involves simulating an attack on a system or network to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses. However, not all cloud services providers allow penetration testing on their platforms, or they may have specific rules and requirements for conducting such tests. The systems administrator should check the cloud services provider’s policies and guidelines and obtain their permission and approval before performing any penetration testing.

The licensing model of the SaaS provider is an important factor to consider before migrating to a SaaS-based solution for email infrastructure. The licensing model determines how much the organization will pay for the service, how many mailboxes they can create, what features they can access, and what SLAs they can expect. The organization should compare different SaaS providers’ licensing models and choose the one that best suits their needs and budget. Reference: CompTIA Cloud+ Certification Exam Objectives, Domain 1.0 Configuration and Deployment, Objective 1.4 Given a scenario, execute a provided deployment plan.

The best way to resolve the issue of an unusual increase in the read operations that is causing a heavy load in the system that is using a relational database and is running in a VM is to use a cache system to store reading operations. A cache system is a type of storage system that temporarily stores frequently accessed or recently used data in memory for faster retrieval. A cache system can reduce the load on the database system by serving the read requests from the cache instead of querying the database every time. Reference: [CompTIA Cloud+ Certification Exam Objectives], Domain 4.0 Troubleshooting, Objective 4.3 Given a scenario, troubleshoot capacity issues within a cloud environment.

A volume-based licensing model is a licensing model that charges the customer based on the amount of data or resources that they consume or use. A volume-based licensing model is suitable for an laaS (Infrastructure as a Service) environment, as it allows the customer to pay only for what they need and scale up or down as their demand changes. A volume-based licensing model can provide financial benefits for the customer, such as lower upfront costs, greater flexibility, and more predictable billing.QUESTION NO: 277

A cloud administrator is evaluating a solution that will limit access to authorized individuals. The solution also needs to ensure the system that connects to the environment meets patching, antivirus, and configuration requirements. Which of the following technologies would BEST meet these requirements?

A.NAC

B.EDR

C.IDS

D.HIPS

Answer: A

NAC (Network Access Control) is a technology that will limit access to authorized individuals and ensure the system that connects to the environment meets patching, antivirus, and configuration requirements. NAC can enforce policies and rules that define who, what, when, where, and how a device or a user can access a network or a cloud environment. NAC can also inspect and evaluate the security posture and compliance status of a device or a user before granting or denying access. For example, NAC can check if the device has the latest patches, antivirus software, and configuration settings, and if not, it can quarantine, remediate, or reject the device. NAC can also monitor and audit the ongoing network activity and behavior of the devices and users, and take actions if any violations or anomalies are detected.

The best technology to provide speed acceleration and a secure connection for a public-facing API that is hosted on a cloud provider is SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). SSL is a protocol that encrypts and authenticates the data between a client and a server over an HTTP connection. It also compresses the data to reduce its size and improve its transmission speed. SSL can enhance the security and performance of an API by preventing unauthorized access, tampering, or interception of the data.
