Your organization needs to enforce that only users from specific IP addresses can access OCI Console. Which IAM feature should you implement?

A development team requires temporary elevated privileges to troubleshoot production issues. They should have these privileges for only 4 hours. What is the most appropriate IAM approach?

Your company uses multiple identity providers for different business units. You need to implement federation for OCI access while maintaining centralized policy management. Which solution best addresses this requirement?

An application running on OCI needs to access Object Storage buckets without embedding credentials in the code. What is the recommended security approach?

You are implementing least privilege access for a database administrator role. The DBA needs to manage Autonomous Databases but should not be able to delete compartments or modify IAM policies. Which policy statement provides the minimum required permissions?

Your organization requires that all inter-VCN communication between production and development environments must be inspected for threats. Which OCI network security architecture should you implement?

A web application on OCI is experiencing a DDoS attack targeting the application layer. Which combination of services provides the best defense?

You need to provide secure remote access for administrators to manage compute instances in a private subnet without exposing SSH ports to the internet. What is the recommended OCI security service?

Your company's security policy requires that database traffic between application and database tiers must never traverse the public internet, even when encrypted. The application and database are in different VCNs. Which connectivity approach satisfies this requirement?

An application requires outbound internet access for API calls to third-party services, but the compute instances must not have public IP addresses or accept inbound connections from the internet. What network configuration achieves this?

Your organization stores sensitive customer data in Object Storage and requires encryption with customer-managed keys, key rotation every 90 days, and audit logs of all key usage. Which encryption strategy should you implement?

A financial application requires that encryption keys for production data must be stored in FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validated hardware security modules. Which OCI service meets this compliance requirement?

You need to encrypt data at rest for an Autonomous Database while maintaining the ability to perform regular backups and disaster recovery. What encryption approach does OCI use by default?

Your company's data classification policy requires that encryption keys used for 'Highly Confidential' data must never leave the customer's control and the cloud provider should have no access to plaintext keys. Which encryption model satisfies this requirement?

An application generates sensitive log files that must be encrypted before storage in Object Storage. The development team wants to encrypt data using application-level encryption with minimal infrastructure management. What approach should they use?

Your security team needs to detect and alert on any attempts to disable Cloud Guard or delete detection recipes. Which OCI service should be configured to monitor these administrative actions?

You need to implement continuous compliance monitoring to ensure resources adhere to CIS OCI Foundations Benchmark. Which OCI native service provides automated detection of non-compliant configurations?

A security incident has occurred and you need to analyze all API calls made to OCI resources in the past 90 days, including the identity of callers, resources accessed, and timestamps. Which service provides this audit capability?

Your organization requires real-time correlation of security events from multiple OCI services (Cloud Guard, VCN Flow Logs, Audit Logs) with automated response workflows. Which architecture best accomplishes this?

A compliance audit requires proof that all production databases have been scanned for sensitive data and that appropriate masking policies are in place. Which OCI service provides these data discovery and masking capabilities specifically for databases?
