Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) — Question 434

Which entity is responsible for encrypting data in transit using an IaaS model versus a SaaS model?

Answer options

• A. Cloud Application Developer for IaaS and Cloud SLA Manager for SaaS
• B. Cloud SLA Manager for IaaS and Cloud Application Developer for SaaS
• C. Cloud Service Provider for IaaS and Cloud Service Customer for SaaS
• D. Cloud Service Customer for IaaS and Cloud Service Provider for SaaS

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because the Cloud Service Customer is responsible for encrypting data in transit when using IaaS, while in a SaaS model, the Cloud Service Provider manages that responsibility. The other options incorrectly assign the roles of encryption responsibilities between the developer and SLA manager, which do not reflect their actual roles in these models.
