What are the security advantages of virtualization, as 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:
The security advantages of virtualization are as follows: It adds a layer of security
for defense-in-depth. It provides strong encapsulation of errors. It increases intrusion detection
through introspection. It decreases exposure of weak software. It increases the flexibility for
discovery. It increases capabilities for fault tolerant computing using rollback and snapshot
of the virtualization layer and composite system.
