Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) — Question 220

How does a cloud access security broker function?

Answer options

• A. It is an authentication broker to enable single sign-on and multi-factor authentication for a cloud solution.
• B. It scans other cloud solutions being used within the network and identifies vulnerabilities.
• C. It integrates with other cloud solutions via APIs and monitors and creates incidents based on events from the cloud solution.
• D. It acts as a security information and event management solution and receives syslog from other cloud solutions.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because a cloud access security broker integrates with other cloud services through APIs, allowing it to monitor activities and respond to events. Option A describes authentication processes, which are not the primary function of a cloud access security broker. Option B focuses on vulnerability scanning, while D refers to security information management, which is not the main role of a cloud access security broker.
