OCI 1Z0-1104-25 FAQ: Exam Format and Prep

What’s the highest-yield area?

IAM, compartments, and policy verbs. Many security scenarios reduce to “who can do what, where,” then add network or key-management controls.

Do I need to memorize every service?

No. You need to know where major controls live and what they protect: identity, network, data, or detection and response.

What’s the biggest trap?

Answers that skip audit or logging, or assume security can be handled by networking alone without IAM hygiene and key management.

What should I review in the last week?

Focus on:

• policy scope and least-privilege design
• segmentation and exposure reduction
• vault, keys, and secret handling
• Cloud Guard, audit, and logging coverage

What do strong answers usually avoid?

They avoid treating one control family as the whole answer. This exam usually wants layered security with clear responsibility boundaries.
