GCSA Exam - ID 12674220 - GIAC Cloud Security Automation
(A+) 2024-2025
This is possible with Azure Firewall but isn't supported in the case of Network Security
Groups - Answer Network Address Translation support
This should be added on an azure content delivery network to allow for the enabling of
token authentication - Answer Encryption Key
in DevOps processes, this is relied on for security automation tasks. In order to react
programming react against changes in Cloud resources where you can take necessary
security actions, use: event grid
By doing this, it reveals Service Account keys, SSH keys, API keys aka "secret keys".
IaC
RASP Runtime Application Security / Self Protection
Because of this runtime overhead takes a toll on CPU, memory, and latency. - Answer
RASP
A suite of automated security assertions and tests should execute following the
deployment of code changes. These tests are known as - Answer smoke tests
When in Terraform code WAFPolicy is set to "Prevention" mode. - Answer rule severity
is correlated to an anomaly score before traffic is blocked
In Terraform WAF policy anomaly scoring, the Rule severity considers - ANS critical,
error, warning or notice
, In Terraform WAF policy "prevention mode" for something to be blocked it must score -
ANS 5
Terraform WAF policy "prevention" mode score 5 - ANS critical
Terraform WAF policy "prevention" mode score 3 - ANS warning
apart from terraform waf policy 3.1 all traffic which matches this rule is going to trigger
this irrespective of any other context. This is "traditional Mode" available in all the
previous versions of CRS. - Answer section
DAST - Answer Dynamic Application Security Testing
A web page crawler is crawling a web application and getting HTTP GET responses just
to "see" how the web application behaves. What kind of security testing is this? -
Answer Passive DAST
Active DAST - sending evil data into the application to see what happens
Active DAST is also known as - Fuzzing
DAST scans can be run two different ways - Manual or automated: GUI or command for
manual.
DAST "headless" scans - These are automated possibly as part of the dev pipeline
InSpec - this tool may be used to inspect SSH configuration
This is necessary so that Ansible can use it to manage the computers. Answer: python
on each node
