Question

As a security analyst for SkySecure Inc., you are working with a client that uses a multi-cloud strategy, utilizing services from several cloud providers. The client wants to implement a system that will provide unified security management across all their cloud platforms. They need a solution that allows them to consistently enforce security policies, identify and respond to threats, and maintain visibility of all their cloud resources. Which of the following should you recommend as the best solution?

Options

  • AUse a Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB).
  • BUse a hardware-based firewall to secure all cloud resources.
  • CImplement separate security management tools for each cloud platform.
  • DRely on the built-in security features of each cloud platform.

Why each option

To address the client's need for unified security management across multiple cloud platforms, a Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) is the best recommendation. It provides consistent policy enforcement, threat response, and visibility for multi-cloud environments.

AUse a Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB).Correct

A CASB acts as an intermediary between users and cloud services, extending security controls across various cloud providers. It offers capabilities such as consistent policy enforcement, data loss prevention (DLP), threat protection, and shadow IT discovery, providing unified visibility and control required for a multi-cloud strategy.

BUse a hardware-based firewall to secure all cloud resources.

Hardware-based firewalls are designed for on-premises network perimeters and are not suitable for securing dynamically provisioned multi-cloud resources or providing unified policy management across distinct cloud environments.

CImplement separate security management tools for each cloud platform.

Implementing separate security management tools for each cloud platform would lead to siloed security, increased operational complexity, and a lack of unified visibility and consistent policy enforcement, directly contradicting the client's requirement for unified security.

DRely on the built-in security features of each cloud platform.

While built-in security features are important, relying solely on them across multiple cloud platforms would result in inconsistent security postures, fragmented visibility, and complex management, failing to provide unified security management and consistent policy enforcement.
