CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-004) — Question 205

Which of the following is the MOST important cloud-specific risk from the CSP’s viewpoint?

Answer options

• A. CI/CD deployment failure
• B. Management plane breach
• C. Insecure data deletion
• D. Resource exhaustion

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The management plane breach is the most significant risk as it can lead to unauthorized access and control over cloud resources, potentially compromising customer data and service integrity. While CI/CD deployment failures, insecure data deletion, and resource exhaustion are important, they typically do not pose as high a risk to the overall security and operations of the cloud service as a breach of the management plane.
