Question 170
A governance team has raised this design requirement: A pod runs as a privileged root container with host filesystem mounts for routine application logging. What should the cybersecurity architect recommend?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Privileged containers expand the impact of an application compromise to the host. This choice directly fits the stated architecture requirement.
Incorrect Answers
This recommendation fits a different scenario: Developers deploy container images directly from an unverified personal registry into production. Secure container supply chains need confidence in artifact origin and content. It does not solve the specified case, for which Apply least-privilege container runtime settings and eliminate unnecessary host access. is appropriate.
This recommendation fits a different scenario: A team scans source code but never examines third-party packages shipped in the final container image. The deployed container can contain vulnerable components absent from source scans. It does not solve the specified case, for which Apply least-privilege container runtime settings and eliminate unnecessary host access. is appropriate.
This recommendation fits a different scenario: Runtime detections are missing for workloads in a managed Kubernetes cluster despite completed image scanning. Build-time scanning does not observe malicious behavior after deployment. It does not solve the specified case, for which Apply least-privilege container runtime settings and eliminate unnecessary host access. is appropriate.
