Question

What are cloud-based resources?

Options

• AAny resources an organization accesses using local networks
• BAny resources an organization accesses using physical servers
• CAny resources that an organization accesses using cloud computing
• DAny resources an organization accesses using personal computers

Explanation

Cloud-based resources are any resources that an organization accesses using cloud computing (see ISC2 Study Guide, Chapter 4, Module 3). This can include storage, applications, virtual machines, and more. For example, an organization might use a cloud-based customer relationship management (CRM) system to manage its customer data and interactions. The other options do not accurately define cloud-based resources. For the start, any resource that an organization accesses through physical servers is not necessarily cloud-based. While physical servers can be part of a cloud infrastructure, not all resources accessed through physical servers are cloud-based. Similarly, any resources an organization accesses over local networks are not necessarily cloud-based. While cloud resources can be accessed over a local network, not all resources accessed over a local network are cloud-based. Finally, all resources that an organization accesses using personal computers are not necessarily cloud-based. While cloud resources can be accessed from a PC, not all resources accessed from a PC are cloud-based
