Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) — Question 458

In which cloud services model is the customer responsible for scanning for and mitigation of application vulnerabilities?

Answer options

• A. VMaaS
• B. IaaS
• C. PaaS
• D. SaaS

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, IaaS, because in this model, customers manage their own applications and data, which includes the responsibility for identifying and fixing vulnerabilities. In contrast, PaaS and SaaS provide higher levels of abstraction where the service provider typically manages security and vulnerability concerns, reducing the customer's responsibility.
