  • C. Language barriers
  • D. Lack of international authority


Answer : D

Explanation:
With international operations, systems ultimately cross many jurisdictional boundaries, and many times, they conflict with each other. The major hurdle to overcome for an organization is the lack of an ultimate international authority to mediate such conflicts, with a likely result of legal efforts in each jurisdiction.

Why does a Type 2 hypervisor typically offer less security control than a Type 1 hypervisor?

  • A. A Type 2 hypervisor runs on top of another operating system and is dependent on the security of the OS for its own security.
  • B. A Type 2 hypervisor allows users to directly perform some functions with their own access.
  • C. A Type 2 hypervisor is open source, so attackers can more easily find exploitable vulnerabilities with that access.
  • D. A Type 2 hypervisor is always exposed to the public Internet for federated identity access.


Answer : A

Explanation:
A Type 2 hypervisor differs from a Type 1 hypervisor in that it runs on top of another operating system rather than directly tied into the underlying hardware of the virtual host servers. With this type of implementation, additional security and architecture concerns come into play because the interaction between the operating system and the hypervisor becomes a critical link. The hypervisor no longer has direct interaction and control over the underlying hardware, which means that some performance will be lost due to the operating system in the middle needing its own resources, patching requirements, and operational oversight.

Which is the appropriate phase of the cloud data lifecycle for determining the data's classification?
