Zorluk: OrtaVirtualization Security Considerations and Network Configurations

An IT security analyst is deploying a virtual machine (VM) on a workstation to analyze untrusted software binaries. The analyst needs to prevent the VM from communicating with the local physical network while ensuring that malicious processes within the guest OS cannot exhaust host physical hardware resources. Which of the following actions should the analyst take? (Select TWO.)

  1. Configure the virtual network interface card (vNIC) to use Host-Only or Internal network mode.Cevap
  2. Set maximum CPU and memory resource limits for the virtual machine within the hypervisor settings.Cevap
  3. C
    Configure the virtual network interface card (vNIC) to use Bridged network mode.
  4. D
    Overcommit host physical RAM without configuring resource reservations or ballooning controls.

Cevap

The analyst should set the vNIC to Host-Only or Internal network mode and configure maximum CPU and memory resource limits for the VM in the hypervisor.
Configuring Host-Only or Internal network mode restricts the virtual machine's communication to prevent interaction with physical network devices or the external internet. Enforcing maximum CPU and RAM limits in hypervisor settings ensures that untrusted or malicious software running in the guest operating system cannot exhaust physical host resources.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the network isolation requirement
Host-Only or Internal networking isolates the virtual machine from external networks and physical subnet devices.
Bridged networking would place the VM directly on the physical LAN, exposing external devices to untrusted traffic.
2
Identify the host system protection requirement
Configuring explicit CPU and RAM resource caps within hypervisor settings bounds the hardware allocation.
Setting maximum limits prevents malicious processes in the VM from exhausting physical host memory and processor capacity.
