Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) — Question 583

A company is planning to deploy an application to a secure cloud environment. The solution must meet these requirements:

• A third-party must control the underlying cloud infrastructure.
• The company must control the deployed applications.
• A third-party must control networking components.

Which cloud service model must be used?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, PaaS, because it allows the organization to control the applications while the underlying infrastructure and networking are managed by a third-party. Option A, SaaS, would mean the third-party controls both the applications and infrastructure, which doesn't meet the requirements. Option B, IaaS, would give the company control over the infrastructure, contradicting the need for third-party control. Option D, private cloud, does not align with the requirement of having a third party manage the infrastructure.
