Question 1

A cloud service provider offers a third-party SaaS application. Which security method offers the most protection for data transmitted between the application and a web browser?

Correct Answer: HTTPS

HTTPS provides secure communication between a web browser and a web server as it encrypts data and protects data from eavesdropping and tampering. HTTP, FTP, SMTP, Telnet, and RDP are less secure alternatives since they do not inherently provide encrypted communication.

Question 2

Your company has recently suffered a data breach on its cloud infrastructure. Which cloud security technology would prevent unauthorized users from accessing data even if a breach occurs?

Correct Answer: Encryption

Encryption is the best option in this scenario, as it ensures that even if unauthorized users gain access to the data, they would not be able to read it without the decryption key. The other options provide security but are not primarily focused on protecting data from unauthorized access after a data breach.

Question 3

Which Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) control domain focuses on the proper implementation and maintenance of security policies and procedures?

Correct Answer: Governance and Risk Management

The CSA control domain 'Governance and Risk Management' focuses on the proper implementation and maintenance of security policies and procedures to ensure the security of data and applications in the cloud.
