Question 34
UnclassifiedWhat does “The Egregious 11" refer to?
Correct answer: D
Explanation
“The Egregious 11” is the Cloud Security Alliance’s list of the “top threats to cloud computing.” The phrase refers to the most serious cloud security risks identified by that group, so the answer matches the definition.
Why each option is right or wrong
A. The OWASP Top 10 adapted to cloud computing
B. A list of top shortcomings of cloud computing
C. A list of top breaches in cloud computing
D. A list of top threats to cloud computing
The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) published “The Egregious 11” as its named list of the 11 most significant threats to cloud computing, identifying the principal risk categories affecting cloud environments. In CSA terminology, the phrase is not a generic label but a specific reference to that top-threats list, so the correct choice is the one describing a list of major cloud-computing threats.
