Which of the following is the MOST significant risk associated with the use of virtualization?
In a virtualized environment, multiple virtual machines run on a single physical host. The most significant risk associated with this setup is the single point of failure; if the host experiences a failure or outage, it can potentially impact all the virtual machines running on it, leading to a significant disruption of services and applications. This makes the host a critical point that, if compromised, could have extensive and severe consequences.
Must be B
must be C
Per CISA manual: Although virtualization offers significant advantages, they bring risk that an enterprise must manage effectively. Because the host in a virtualized environment represents a potential single point of failure within the system, a successful attack on the host could result in a compromise that is larger in both scope and impact. Ans = B!
The key word is the "HOST" because any attack on the host could compromise the security of the organization.
In CRM Figure 5,30 Mention both B and D as disadvantages. Is very hard to choose one over the other, CISA is doing it again with these confusing questions.. I would say biggest risk is the Single Point of Failure, over the performance
i think B bcos C and D also finally affect the inadequate configuration of host/ performance issues of host will bring the host down.. which is nothing but single point of failure of the host itself.
B should be the correct answer, since virtualizing a server means having one single point of failure which is the server itself, all the other guests depend on this server
The most significant risk associated with the use of virtualization is the single point of failure. In a virtualized environment, multiple virtual machines (VMs) run on a single physical host. If that host fails, all the VMs running on it will also fail, causing a significant impact on the availability of services and applications.
The most significant risk associated with the use of virtualization is a single point of failure. Virtualization involves consolidating multiple virtual machines (VMs) onto a single physical server or host. If the host experiences a failure or outage, it can potentially impact multiple VMs running on that host, leading to a significant disruption of services.
D. As per CISA review manual. "Performance issues of the host’s own OS could impact each of the host’s guests."
few lines before that, the CISA review manual also says "Because the host in a virtualized environment represents a potential single point of failure within the system, a successful attack on the host could result in a compromise that is larger in both scope and impact."
D. Performance issues of the host. This is because virtual systems are highly dependent on well the host system is performaning. Any system failure with the host, would automatically have a ripple effect on all the virtual systems depending on it.
In other words, the Host is a single point of failure. Right?
D. Performance issues of the host. This is because virtual systems are highly dependent on how well the host system is performaning. Any system failure with the host, would automatically have a ripple effect on all the virtual systems depending on it.
"Any system failure with the host, would automatically have a ripple effect on all the virtual systems depending on it." in other words, the Host is a single point of failure. Right?
Correct answer is B. CISA review manual 27th Edition states, "Although virtualization offers significant advantages, they bring risk that an enterprise must manage effectively. Because the host in a virtualized environment represents a potential single point of failure within the system, a successful attack on the host could result in a compromise that is larger in both scope and impact."
