CCSK Practice Questions

Management Plane Logs are indispensable for security monitoring because they track administrative

activities related to the management of cloud resources. These logs capture actions such as user

logins, configuration changes, access control modifications, and resource provisioning or

decommissioning. By monitoring these logs, organizations can detect unauthorized or suspicious

administrative actions, ensuring that only authorized personnel are making changes to critical cloud

resources. This helps prevent configuration errors, privilege escalation, and potential attacks

targeting the management plane.

Other options refer to different aspects of security monitoring but are not specifically related to the

role of Management Plane Logs.
