Question #: 53
Topic #: 1
Which feature should be enabled to prevent password access to the CVM for both the nutanix and admin user accounts?

Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer

To prevent password access to the CVM for both thenutanixandadminuser accounts,Cluster Lockdown should be enabled. Cluster Lockdown restricts SSH access to the Controller VM (CVM), effectively disabling password-based logins for enhanced security. Access is then managed through more secure means, such as console access or specific tools like Nutanix Support.
* A. Cluster Lockdown:Correct, as this prevents SSH-based access to the CVM.
* B. STIG:Incorrect, as STIG (Security Technical Implementation Guide) focuses on broader compliance measures.
* C. RBAC Policy on PC:Incorrect, as RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) controls Prism Central permissions, not CVM access.
* D. Data-at-Rest Encryption:Incorrect, as this secures stored data, not access credentials.
