1Z0-1104-25 Question 101

Single answer

Your organization needs to provide a remote maintenance team with intermittent SSH access to a private Linux host. The security requirement is that each SSH session remains active only for a limited time and does not allow ongoing or persistent connections. How should you implement this using OCI Bastion to ensure time-limited access?

  1. A

    Use OCI Bastion to create a Managed SSH session with a specified session lifetime, allowing the session to expire automatically.

  2. B

    Configure an IAM policy for the maintenance team granting direct SSH key access to the private host indefinitely to reduce overhead.

  3. C

    Create a Bastion session set to �unlimited duration� but require the team to manually terminate the session after use.

  4. D

    Deploy a separate dedicated Bastion compute instance and configure manual cron jobs to kill idle sessions every 24 hours.

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

OCI Bastion offers managed and short-lived SSH sessions that automatically terminate after a configured duration (TTL). This meets the requirement for ephemeral access without leaving long-lived tunnels open. Refer to Oracle� documentation on OCI Bastion and Managed SSH connections for details on setting session lifetimes.

  • A. Correct.

    Option 1 is correct. OCI Bastion supports creating Managed SSH sessions with time-bound settings, typically up to a few hours. Once the configured session lifetime (TTL) ends, the session is automatically terminated, fulfilling the requirement for time-limited access.

  • B. Incorrect.

    Option 2 is incorrect because granting direct SSH key access bypasses OCI Bastion� time-based restrictions. This approach cannot enforce short-lived sessions and introduces persistent access, which violates the security requirement.

  • C. Incorrect.

    Option 3 is incorrect because it relies on manual enforcement. If users forget to terminate a session, it remains open indefinitely, negating the objective of enforcing time-limited access via Bastion� built-in TTL controls.

  • D. Incorrect.

    Option 4 is incorrect because deploying a dedicated Bastion compute instance and relying on external scripts is more complicated, error-prone, and does not leverage the built-in time-limited session mechanism provided by OCI Bastion� Managed SSH sessions.

1Z0-1104-25 Question 102

Select 2

Your organization hires a contractor who requires SSH access to a private compute instance for a short maintenance task. You decide to use OCI Bastion to provide time-limited SSH access that automatically expires after two hours. Which two steps must you implement to ensure secure, time-limited access using OCI Bastion?

  1. A
    1. Create a bastion session specifying a maximum session TTL (Time To Live) of two hours, and enable ephemeral key-based SSH access.
  2. B
    1. Attach an IAM policy that grants the contractor permission to use Bastion and rely on their personal SSH key for ongoing connections.
  3. C
    1. Configure a dynamic SSH key directly on the compute instance and retain the key for audit purposes after the session has ended.
  4. D
    1. Use Oracle-managed SSH key generation within Bastion, set the session duration to two hours, and restrict access to the contractor� source IP.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answers: A, D

Explanation

OCI Bastion provides the capability to create ephemeral SSH sessions with a configurable TTL, ensuring that temporary access is automatically revoked after a specific time period. By combining time-limited sessions with ephemeral SSH keys and optional IP address restrictions, you can securely grant short-term access to resources in a private subnet. Refer to Oracle� OCI Bastion documentation (e.g., 'Using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Bastion' in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure documentation) for guidance on creating bastion sessions, configuring session TTL, and using ephemeral credentials.

  • A. Correct.

    Option 1: Correct. Specifying a maximum session TTL (like two hours) when creating a bastion session and using ephemeral SSH credentials is a best practice for time-limited access. Bastion automatically handles the session lifecycle and terminates the session once the TTL is reached.

  • B. Incorrect.

    Option 2: Incorrect. While attaching a policy that allows 'bastion usage' is necessary, relying on the contractor's personal SSH key for unlimited ongoing connections does not enforce time-limited access by itself. You must configure the session through Bastion to ensure automatic expiration.

  • C. Incorrect.

    Option 3: Incorrect. Installing a dynamic key on the compute instance itself and retaining it for auditing does not use OCI Bastion� built-in session termination. The contractor could potentially continue using the key beyond the intended timeframe if not manually revoked.

  • D. Correct.

    Option 4: Correct. Using the Oracle-managed ephemeral key feature (provided as part of Bastion) allows you to specify a predetermined session duration (two hours) and limit access by source IP. This enforces both the time limit and tightens network restrictions.

1Z0-1104-25 Question 103

Single answer

You manage several Linux compute instances and container images hosted in OCI Container Registry. Your security team wants a solution that identifies newly released Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) and automatically scans both your hosts and container images on a regular schedule, providing clear severity ratings. Which approach will best meet these requirements?

  1. A

    Enable only Oracle Cloud Guard, which automatically detects vulnerabilities in both container images and compute instances without any additional configuration.

  2. B

    Use the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Vulnerability Scanning service for scheduled scanning of both compute instances and container images in OCI Container Registry.

  3. C

    Rely on Oracle Linux OS updates exclusively, since it includes a built-in mechanism to notify you of new CVEs and critical patches.

  4. D

    Configure a custom script to run daily on each compute instance, downloading CVE data from the National Vulnerability Database and comparing it against installed packages.

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The OCI Vulnerability Scanning service is the recommended choice for proactively detecting vulnerabilities in both host operating systems and container images. By configuring regular scans and linking them to new CVE alerts, you ensure that vulnerabilities are quickly discovered and addressed. For more information, refer to Oracle� Vulnerability Scanning service documentation in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure documentation.

  • A. Incorrect.

    Incorrect. Oracle Cloud Guard focuses on security posture management and detection of suspicious activities. It does not automatically perform comprehensive vulnerability scans on container images or compute instances without additional services.

  • B. Correct.

    Correct. OCI Vulnerability Scanning service supports both host scanning and container image scanning. It can be configured to run scheduled scans and to identify newly discovered vulnerabilities, making it an appropriate solution to meet the requirement.

  • C. Incorrect.

    Incorrect. While Oracle Linux updates can help with package-level updates, they do not provide a full solution for scanning container images or proactively identifying new vulnerabilities as they appear for all system components.

  • D. Incorrect.

    Incorrect. While custom scripts might help manage some vulnerabilities, this approach is labor-intensive, error-prone, and does not provide a single dashboard to track container image vulnerabilities. It also lacks direct integration with OCI services for automated scanning.

1Z0-1104-25 Question 104

Select 2

You are managing an e-commerce application on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) that uses container images stored in a private OCI Container Registry and multiple Compute instances for backend services. Your Security team requires that all newly launched Compute instances and newly pushed container images be scanned for known vulnerabilities on a recurring schedule. Which two actions must you take to meet this requirement?

  1. A

    Create a Vulnerability Scanning target that includes your compartment with Compute instances.

  2. B

    Define a separate Vulnerability Scanning target referencing the container image repositories in the OCI Container Registry.

  3. C

    Disable OS Management on all your Compute instances to enable scanning with minimal conflicts.

  4. D

    Configure a custom metric alarm to automatically remediate critical findings on Compute instances.

  5. E

    Set up a Block Volume backup policy to capture vulnerability scan results for compliance checks.

Show answer and explanation

Correct answers: A, B

Explanation

To implement regular vulnerability scanning for both new Compute instances and newly pushed container images, you must define scanning targets specifically for those resources. The OCI Vulnerability Scanning service allows you to set up multiple targets�one for hosts and another for container images�and configure the scan frequency. Refer to Oracle� documentation on the Vulnerability Scanning service for detailed steps: https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/vulnerability-scanning/home.htm.

  • A. Correct.

    Option 1 is correct. Configuring a Vulnerability Scanning target for your compartment ensures OCI will regularly scan the associated Compute instances for known security vulnerabilities. You can define the scope for scanning by compartment or subnet, and schedule scans as needed.

  • B. Correct.

    Option 2 is correct. To scan newly pushed container images, you must create a separate target for container images in the OCI Container Registry. This allows OCI Vulnerability Scanning to identify CVEs in images before they are deployed to production.

  • C. Incorrect.

    Option 3 is incorrect. Disabling OS Management is not required�nor recommended�for Vulnerability Scanning. The service can function regardless of the OS Management service status, and disabling OS Management can remove useful patching and update features.

  • D. Incorrect.

    Option 4 is incorrect. While you can create alarms or automated responses, it is not sufficient by itself to set up a custom metric alarm for vulnerability remediation. A separate scanning target is still required for the scanning process itself.

  • E. Incorrect.

    Option 5 is incorrect. A Block Volume backup policy ensures data durability but does not enable or configure vulnerability scanning for hosts or container images. Vulnerability Scanning is managed through the Vulnerability Scanning service targets.

1Z0-1104-25 Question 105

Single answer

Your organization hosts several critical workloads on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) using both Compute instances for traditional applications and Oracle Container Registry for container-based microservices. The security team wants to automatically identify vulnerabilities in both hosts and container images before deploying to production. Which approach should you implement in OCI to achieve this goal?

  1. A

    Rely on manual analysis of system logs for all Compute instances and container images, flagging any high-risk issues.

  2. B

    Configure the OCI Vulnerability Scanning Service to schedule and perform scans on both Compute instances and container images in the Oracle Container Registry.

  3. C

    Deploy the OCI Web Application Firewall (WAF) on each Compute instance to override any vulnerabilities discovered in container images.

  4. D

    Enable block volume encryption on each Compute instance, as it automatically includes container vulnerability reports.

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Using the OCI Vulnerability Scanning Service is the recommended approach for identifying and addressing vulnerabilities in both Compute instances and container images stored in the Oracle Container Registry. By scheduling regular scans, security teams can detect vulnerabilities proactively and take remedial action based on real-time analysis. For more information, see the official OCI documentation on vulnerability scanning: https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/security/scanning/overview.htm.

  • A. Incorrect.

    Option 1 is incorrect. Manually analyzing logs is time-consuming and prone to oversights, and it does not leverage OCI� built-in vulnerability scanning. While monitoring logs is important, it does not replace automated vulnerability scanning for hosts or container images.

  • B. Correct.

    Option 2 is correct. OCI Vulnerability Scanning Service can be configured to run scheduled scans for both Compute instances (host scanning) and container images in the Oracle Container Registry. This provides comprehensive visibility of vulnerabilities before they become critical issues.

  • C. Incorrect.

    Option 3 is incorrect. Deploying WAF is primarily for protecting web applications from malicious traffic; it does not offer container image scanning or deep host-level scanning for vulnerabilities. WAF and vulnerability scanning are complementary but serve different security needs.

  • D. Incorrect.

    Option 4 is incorrect. Enabling block volume encryption ensures data at rest is protected but does not perform vulnerability scans on hosts or container images. Encryption addresses data confidentiality rather than vulnerability detection.
