Question 680
During a scheduled security controls review at Vantage Travel, engineers say that they resolved this finding: A cloud-native workload has no runtime alert for unexpected process execution after deployment. Which result provides the STRONGEST acceptance evidence?
Explanation
Correct Answer
An anomalous child process triggers a workload-linked security event. This is the decisive evidence for the original problem: A cloud-native workload has no runtime alert for unexpected process execution after deployment. It verifies that the intended corrective control—Add supported runtime behavior monitoring and event correlation for containers or hosts—works in the relevant environment; a completed change ticket alone would not prove the outcome at Vantage Travel.
Incorrect Answers
An unapproved service cannot call the protected container while permitted traffic works. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: A container orchestrator leaves external ingress and internal service-to-service traffic unrestricted, usually addressed by Define ingress policies and network segmentation appropriate to application trust boundaries. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Vantage Travel was resolved. The specific required evidence is: An anomalous child process triggers a workload-linked security event.
A modified running container generates a signal even if its original image scan passed. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: Cloud workload protection monitors only static image scans and misses runtime file modifications, usually addressed by Combine predeployment image checks with appropriate runtime behavioral controls. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Vantage Travel was resolved. The specific required evidence is: An anomalous child process triggers a workload-linked security event.
A pilot records required events with bounded overhead and no unauthorized host modification. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: An eBPF-based telemetry component requests broad rights without a threat model or resource limit, usually addressed by Validate sensor provenance, kernel compatibility, data sensitivity, and controlled deployment permissions. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Vantage Travel was resolved. The specific required evidence is: An anomalous child process triggers a workload-linked security event.
