A company is migrating its data center to the cloud. Some hosts had been previously isolated, but a risk assessment convinced the engineering team to reintegrate the systems.

Because the systems were isolated, the risk associated with vulnerabilities was low. Which of the following should the security team recommend be performed before migrating these servers to the cloud?

  • A. Performing patching and hardening
  • B. Deploying host and network IDS
  • C. Implementing least functionality and time-based access

Selected Answer: A
While the systems were previously isolated and had a low risk due to limited exposure, before bringing them into the cloud environment, which is inherently more interconnected, it's crucial to ensure they are up-to-date with security patches and hardened with robust security configurations. This will minimize the potential for vulnerabilities to be exploited once they are exposed to the broader network.

Ans. A. Patching and hardening the servers is essential to reduce vulnerabilities before they are integrated into a potentially more exposed environment, such as the cloud. This involves applying security patches to all software, configuring the systems securely, and removing unnecessary services or features that could be exploited. This step is critical to ensure that the systems are secure and compliant with security policies before they are connected to a broader network.
