1Z0-997-26 Security Practice Question
An auditor requests evidence that all API activities across your OCI tenancy are being captured, tamper-proofed, and retained for compliance. Which OCI feature should you configure?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Configure OCI Logging to export Audit events to an Object Storage bucket with Object Lock enabled in Compliance mode.
OCI Audit logs all API calls automatically. To ensure tamper-proofing and long-term compliance retention, administrators should use Object Storage buckets configured with WORM (Write Once, Read Many) policies via Object Storage Object Lock.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Configure OCI Logging to export Audit events to an Object Storage bucket with Object Lock enabled in Compliance mode.
Why this is correct
Object Storage Object Lock in Compliance mode ensures that logs cannot be deleted or modified by anyone, even root users, fulfilling strict audit requirements.
- ✗
Enable OCI Cloud Guard with default responder rules.
Why it's wrong here
Cloud Guard detects threats and misconfigurations, but does not handle log immutability or compliance retention.
- ✗
Deploy OCI Network Firewall to inspect all control plane traffic.
Why it's wrong here
OCI Network Firewall inspects data plane traffic in VCNs, whereas control plane API calls are handled by IAM and the Audit service.
- ✗
Set up OCI Events to stream API activities directly to an external SIEM using unencrypted HTTP endpoints.
Why it's wrong here
Unencrypted HTTP endpoints violate data transit security best practices and do not guarantee tamper-proof log storage.
