Question

Which security benefits of virtualization are described in the NIST Information Security and Privacy Advisory Board (ISPAB) paper “Perspectives on Cloud Computing and Standards”? Each correct answer represents a complete solution.

Choose three

A It increases capabilities for fault tolerant computing.
B It adds a layer of security for defense-in-depth.
C It decreases exposure of weak software.
D It decreases configuration effort.

Explanation

Virtualization can add an additional layer to a defense-in-depth strategy, limit exposure to buggy or weak software through isolation, and use snapshots and rollback to support fault- or intrusion-tolerant computing. Reduced configuration effort is not identified as a security advantage.
