Worked practice questions

Encryption at rest primarily protects data:

  1. Only on Sundays
  2. While the user is on a phone call about it
  3. While it is being typed at the keyboard
  4. While it is stored on disk or in a backup, typically using AES or similar block ciphers
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. While it is stored on disk or in a backup, typically using AES or similar block ciphers

At rest = on disk, protected by block ciphers (often AES-256), with keys managed in a KMS. The other options describe unrelated user behaviour or fiction.

What defines the terms and conditions for using a provider's services?

  1. A service agreement
  2. A service allowance
  3. A service allotment
  4. A service adjustment
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. A service agreement

1. The relationship with a cloud provider is contractual. 2. One document sets out what may be used and how. 3. A service agreement defines the terms and conditions for access and use of the services. 4. So the answer is a service agreement. _Source: NIST SP 800-144, 'Guidelines on Security and Privacy in Public Cloud Computing'_

How many types of service agreement are identified?

  1. Twelve types
  2. Two types
  3. Nine types
  4. Seven types
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Two types

1. Agreements differ by whether the terms can be changed. 2. That gives a simple split. 3. Two types of service agreements exist, predefined non-negotiable and negotiated. 4. So the answer is two. _Source: NIST SP 800-144, 'Guidelines on Security and Privacy in Public Cloud Computing'_
