Suggested Answer: D

The Egregious 11 refers to a list of top threats to cloud computing, as published by the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) in 2019. The CSA is a leading organization dedicated to defining standards, certifications and best practices to help ensure a secure cloud computing environment. The Egregious 11 report ranks the most critical and pressing cloud security issues, such as data breaches, misconfigurations, insufficient identity and access management, and account hijacking. The report also provides recommendations for security, compliance, risk and technology practitioners to mitigate these threats. The Egregious 11 is based on a survey of industry experts and a review of current literature and media reports.The report is intended to raise awareness of the risks and challenges associated with cloud computing and promote strong security practices.12Reference:= CCAK Study Guide, Chapter 5: Cloud Auditing, page 961; CSA Top Threats to Cloud Computing: Egregious 11

Option B is my pick. "Egregious" means really bad, so it's probably a list of the top shortcomings of cloud computing.

Haha, "The Egregious 11"? Sounds like a bad superhero team. I'll go with D, the top threats, just for the comedic value.

I thought "The Egregious 11" was an adaptation of the OWASP Top 10 for cloud, so I’m tempted to choose A, but I could be mixing it up.
