Question 76

When investigating an incident in an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) environment, what can the user investigate on their own?

    Correct Answer: E

    In an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) environment, users are responsible for and have control over their own virtual instances or virtual machines within the cloud infrastructure. This means they can investigate their own virtual instances, gather relevant logs, analyze configurations, review security settings, and identify any potential issues or indicators of compromise. However, users do not have the authority to investigate the cloud service provider's (CSP) managed resources such as the CSP server facilities, logs of other customers, network components controlled by the CSP, or the CSP office spaces.

When investigating an incident in an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) environment, the user can investigate: E. Their own virtual instances in the cloud. In an IaaS environment, users have control over their own virtual instances or virtual machines deployed within the cloud infrastructure. They have the ability to access and investigate their own virtual instances to gather logs, analyze configurations, review security settings, and identify any potential issues or indicators of compromise. However, it is important to note that users typically do not have access to investigate other customers' virtual instances or the underlying infrastructure controlled by the cloud service provider (CSP). Investigating the CSP server facility, logs of other customers in a multi-tenant cloud, network components controlled by the CSP, or the CSP office spaces would generally be outside the user's scope of investigation.
