[All CLF-C02 Questions]

Under the AWS shared responsibility model, which of the following is a responsibility of the customer?

AShred disk drives before they leave a data center.

BPrevent customers from gathering packets or collecting traffic at the hypervisor level.

CPatch the guest operating system with the latest security patches.

DMaintain security systems that provide physical monitoring of data centers.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Under the AWS shared responsibility model, AWS is responsible for the security 'of' the cloud, which includes the physical infrastructure, networking, and hypervisor layer. The customer, however, is responsible for security 'in' the cloud, which includes managing the security of their data, patching and maintaining their guest operating system and applications, and managing identity and access. The responsibilities of shredding disk drives, preventing packet capture at the hypervisor level, and physical monitoring are handled by AWS as part of its responsibility for security 'of' the cloud.

Nope, we handle our own security patches for sure.

Wait, we have to shred drives too? That seems extreme.

Customers need to patch their own OS.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think patching the OS is a key responsibility for customers. So C seems like the right choice to me.

I feel like shredding disk drives is definitely something the customer would do, but I can't remember if that's part of the shared responsibility model.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about physical security being more of the provider's responsibility. So maybe D isn't correct?

I think the customer is responsible for patching the guest operating system, so I might go with C. That sounds familiar from our practice questions.

I'm confident the answer is C. The shared responsibility model clearly states that the customer is responsible for managing the guest OS, including applying security patches. The other options are AWS's responsibilities.

I think the answer is C. The customer is responsible for patching the guest OS, while AWS handles the underlying infrastructure. The other options seem to be more AWS's responsibility.

Okay, let me see. The question is asking about the customer's responsibilities, so it's likely one of the options that involves something the customer has to do, like managing the OS or security. I'm leaning towards C, but I'll double-check the others just to be sure.

I'm pretty sure the answer is C - patching the guest OS is the customer's responsibility under the shared responsibility model.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know the shared responsibility model covers different areas, but I can't quite remember the specifics. I'll have to think it through carefully.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know RADIUS is used for authentication, but I'm not too familiar with the specific attributes. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I think option D is also important. Maintaining security systems for physical monitoring is crucial for data center security.

C is the way to go. Keeping the OS up-to-date is crucial for security. The other options seem more like Amazon's responsibility under the shared model. Though I have to admit, I'd love to see someone try to prevent packet gathering at the hypervisor level. That sounds like a fun challenge!

Hmm, I'm gonna go with C. Patching the OS is a no-brainer for the customer. The other options sound like AWS's job to me. Though I do wonder if anyone has tried to shred a drive using their bare hands. That would be a sight to see!

C) Patch the guest operating system with the latest security patches. Definitely the right answer. I can't believe anyone would think the customer is responsible for shredding drives or monitoring the data center's physical security.
