What is the primary purpose of Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)?

To automatically patch all operating systems and applications in a cloud environment

To provide a real-time firewall for all inbound and outbound cloud network traffic

To replace the need for identity and access management in cloud environments

To continuously assess cloud environments for misconfigurations and compliance risks and support remediation

Which of the following is a key concern that AI-SPM would address?

Managing user passwords for a cloud account

Ensuring that training data has not been tampered with

Configuring a load balancer for a web application

Monitoring CPU usage of cloud servers

A company has a critical application running on EC2 instances that cannot tolerate downtime. The security team discovers a critical vulnerability in the application's runtime, but patching requires a reboot. They also need to continuously assess other workloads for vulnerabilities without agents. What is the best approach?

Use a network scanner to assess all workloads and patch the critical app during the next maintenance window

Use agentless scanning to assess all workloads, and for the critical application, use a rolling replacement strategy to patch without downtime

Immediately reboot the critical application to apply the patch, accepting downtime

Install an agent on the critical application only and patch it, ignoring other workloads

What is the primary focus of Kubernetes Security Posture Management (KSPM)?

Securing Kubernetes clusters by addressing issues like pod security and RBAC

Providing a web application firewall for Kubernetes ingress traffic

Managing identity and access for all users in a multi-cloud environment

Scanning container images for malware during the build process

Why is prioritization important in vulnerability management?

Because all vulnerabilities are equally severe and must be fixed at the same time

Because it eliminates the need for scanning

Because not all vulnerabilities have the same level of risk, and resources should focus on the most critical ones

Because it automatically patches all vulnerabilities
