Security & Culture (SC)
Explain how using an IaC tool (e.g., Ansible/Chef) can simplify achieving and maintaining compliance (e.g., PCI-DSS, HIPAA). Detail how automated configuration scans can generate an audit trail showing required security settings are enforced.
Using an IaC tool (e.g., Terraform), detail the advantages of automating the entire infrastructure provision process versus manual provisioning. Specifically, explain how automation enforces consistency and prevents configuration drift.
Design an automated process for regularly rotating critical database credentials (secrets). Specify the tool (e.g., cloud provider KMS, Vault), the ideal rotation frequency (e.g., 30 days), and the key safety check to ensure zero downtime during the rotation.
Propose an organizational structure for a DevOps team that includes developers, QA, and operations roles. Explain the concept of the 'You Build It, You Run It' culture and how this structure encourages end-to-end ownership.
Explain how the Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP) should be applied to CI/CD pipelines and deployment agents. Specifically, detail the minimum permissions an agent should have to deploy an application to Kubernetes.
Define Configuration Drift. Propose a technical solution (e.g., using a CM tool to regularly check state) to detect when a production server's actual configuration deviates from its defined IaC state (e.g., an unauthorized package was installed).
Outline the structure and responsibilities of a Security Champions program within a DevOps team. Specify the role of a 'Champion' (a developer) in the CI/CD pipeline and their contribution to threat modeling.
Describe the concept of 'Shifting Left' in DevSecOps. Provide 3 specific security checks (e.g., SAST, Dependency Scanning) that should be performed before the code is built, and state the mandatory action taken if a high-severity vulnerability is found.
Explain the purpose of Runtime Security Monitoring (e.g., using Falco) in a production environment. Provide 3 specific examples of malicious activities (e.g., shell access, file changes) that this monitoring layer is designed to detect and alert on.
Establish a formal policy for Vulnerability Management across the organization. The policy must define the maximum acceptable remediation time (e.g., 7 days) for high-severity vulnerabilities found in production code or dependencies.
List 5 essential security measures for hardening the CI/CD pipeline platform (e.g., Jenkins server, build agents). Measures should include network isolation, credential storage, and mandatory logging of all execution activities.
Explain the concept of Compliance-as-Code (CaC). Provide an example of a security rule (e.g., all S3 buckets must be private) and how a tool like Open Policy Agent (OPA) enforces this rule before an IaC deployment is finalized.
Describe the optimal stage in the CI pipeline for running a Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tool. Explain why running SAST early is important, and how the tool's findings should be integrated into the developer's IDE for immediate feedback.
