CV0-003 · Question #126

Which of the following cloud delivery models has the LEAST probability of data leakage?

The correct answer is D. Private cloud. A private cloud is dedicated exclusively to one organization, eliminating shared infrastructure risks and providing the greatest control over data, resulting in the least probability of data leakage.

Why each option

A private cloud is dedicated exclusively to one organization, eliminating shared infrastructure risks and providing the greatest control over data, resulting in the least probability of data leakage.

ACommunity cloud

A community cloud shares infrastructure among multiple organizations with similar interests, introducing some risk of data leakage between member organizations that does not exist in a private cloud.

BPublic cloud

A public cloud shares infrastructure among many unrelated tenants managed by a third-party provider, creating the highest exposure to data leakage through misconfiguration or provider-side vulnerabilities.

CHybrid cloud

A hybrid cloud combines private and public cloud environments, inheriting the data leakage risks associated with the public cloud component.

DPrivate cloudCorrect

In a private cloud, all hardware, storage, and networking resources are used solely by one organization and are not shared with any external tenants. This isolation removes the risk of data exposure through shared infrastructure vulnerabilities, misconfigured multi-tenant environments, or unauthorized cross-tenant access, making it the cloud delivery model with the lowest data leakage probability.
