Why each option
To determine if a newly deployed cloud file sharing service can be compromised, a penetration test is the most appropriate method as it actively simulates real-world attacks.
Testing storage typically involves verifying capacity, performance, and data integrity, not directly assessing security vulnerabilities or exploitability.
Testing latency measures network delay and responsiveness, which is a performance metric and not a security assessment to find compromises.
A vulnerability assessment identifies potential security weaknesses but does not actively attempt to exploit them to determine if services can be compromised.
Penetration testing actively exploits identified vulnerabilities to determine the extent to which a system can be compromised, providing a realistic assessment of its security posture by attempting to breach the service's defenses.
