Question 66
A multi-tenant AI system needs data isolation to prevent cross-tenant data access. Which architecture ensures complete isolation?
- A) Tenant-specific encryption keys with isolated data processing and access controls
- B) Database-level isolation with tenant-specific schemas and row-level security
- C) Application-level isolation with tenant context validation and data partitioning
- D) Infrastructure isolation with tenant-specific VPCs and network segmentation
Reveal Answer
Answer: A — Tenant-specific encryption keys ensure data is cryptographically isolated — even if access controls fail, data remains inaccessible without the correct tenant key.
Question 67
Your AI system needs secure communication with external APIs while preventing data exfiltration. What security measures are essential?
- A) VPC endpoints with network ACLs and data loss prevention monitoring
- B) API gateway with authentication, authorization, and traffic inspection
- C) Proxy servers with content filtering and encrypted communication channels
- D) Zero-trust architecture with micro-segmentation and continuous verification
Reveal Answer
Answer: A — VPC endpoints keep traffic within the AWS network, network ACLs control access, and DLP monitoring detects any unauthorized data exfiltration attempts.
Question 68
A GenAI application needs to comply with GDPR right-to-be-forgotten requirements. Which implementation supports data deletion?
- A) Data lineage tracking with automated deletion workflows and verification processes
- B) Immutable audit logs with data masking and retention policy enforcement
- C) Versioned data storage with tombstone records and cascading deletion mechanisms
- D) Blockchain-based data provenance with cryptographic deletion proofs
Reveal Answer
Answer: A — Data lineage tracking ensures all instances of user data are identified, automated deletion workflows remove them completely, and verification confirms compliance.
Question 69
Your AI system needs runtime security monitoring to detect anomalous behavior and potential attacks. What monitoring approach is most effective?
- A) Behavioral analysis with baseline establishment and anomaly detection algorithms
- B) Real-time log analysis with pattern recognition and threat intelligence integration
- C) Network traffic monitoring with deep packet inspection and intrusion detection

Reveal Answer
Answer: A — Behavioral analysis with baselines detects novel attacks that rule-based systems miss, identifying anomalous patterns that deviate from established normal behavior.
Question 70
Your system needs secure prompt handling to prevent prompt injection and data exfiltration. What security measures are essential?
- A) Input validation with prompt sanitization and injection pattern detection
- B) Sandboxed execution with isolated processing and output validation
- C) Content analysis with malicious intent detection and blocking mechanisms
- D) Multi-stage filtering with prompt analysis and response validation
Reveal Answer
Answer: A — Input validation with prompt sanitization catches injection attempts at the entry point, preventing malicious prompts from reaching the model in the first place.
Domain 4: Operational Efficiency & Cost Optimization (Questions 71–75)
Performance & Cost Optimization (Q71–75)
Question 71
Your GenAI application’s monthly costs increased 300% due to inefficient prompt design and model usage. Which optimization provides maximum cost reduction?
- A) Prompt compression with semantic preservation and response caching strategies
- B) Model right-sizing with task-specific model selection and batch processing
- C) Usage analytics with cost allocation and optimization recommendations
- D) Reserved capacity planning with demand forecasting and capacity optimization
Reveal Answer
Answer: A — Prompt compression reduces per-request token costs while response caching eliminates redundant API calls, together addressing the two main cost drivers.
Question 72
A RAG system experiences 60% cache miss rate despite implementing response caching. What caching strategy improves hit rates?

- B) Hierarchical context with summary generation and detail-on-demand strategies
- C) Context caching with reusable context segments and intelligent cache management
- D) Dynamic context sizing with relevance-based content selection and pruning
Reveal Answer
Answer: A — Context compression extracts key information while reducing token count, directly cutting the largest cost component without sacrificing response quality.
