Question 690
At Briarwood Property Group, a team reports that it corrected the following problem affecting tenant applications and facility services: Cloud workload protection monitors only static image scans and misses runtime file modifications. Which observation BEST verifies that the correction actually worked?
Explanation
Correct Answer
A modified running container generates a signal even if its original image scan passed. This is the decisive evidence for the original problem: Cloud workload protection monitors only static image scans and misses runtime file modifications. It verifies that the intended corrective control—Combine predeployment image checks with appropriate runtime behavioral controls—works in the relevant environment; a completed change ticket alone would not prove the outcome at Briarwood Property Group.
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 Briarwood Property Group was resolved. The specific required evidence is: A modified running container generates a signal even if its original image scan passed.
A monitored syscall pattern is observed without loading an unreviewed kernel module. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: A container security agent needs kernel-event visibility but introducing a new custom kernel module is operationally risky, usually addressed by Evaluate supported eBPF instrumentation with appropriate privileges and verifier protections. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Briarwood Property Group was resolved. The specific required evidence is: A modified running container generates a signal even if its original image scan passed.
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 Briarwood Property Group was resolved. The specific required evidence is: A modified running container generates a signal even if its original image scan passed.
