The VMkernel is secured using which of the following techniques (Choose Two)?
A.
Kernel Module Integrity
B.
Memory Hardening
C.
Binary Translation
D.
Service Console Firewall
Explanation:
Memory Hardening – The ESX/ESXi kernel, user-mode applications, and executable components such as drivers and libraries are located at random, non-predictable memory addresses. Combined with the non-executable memory protections made available by microprocessors, this provides protection that makes it difficult for malicious code to use memory exploits to take advantage of vulnerabilities.Kernel Module Integrity – Digital signing ensures the integrity and authenticity of modules, drivers and applications as they are loaded by the VMkernel. Module signing allows ESXi to identify the providers of modules, drivers, or applications and whether they are VMware-certified.
Trusted Platform Module (ESXi ONLY and BIOS enabled) – This module is a hardware element that represents the core of trust for a hardware platform and enables attestation of the boot process, as well as cryptographic key storage and protection. Each time ESXi boots, TPM measures the VMkernel with which ESXi booted in one of its Platform Configuration Registers (PCRs). TPM measurements are propagated to vCenter Server when the host is added to the vCenter Server system.
I have the same idea. AB
