CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-004) — Question 242

A security engineer based in Iceland works in an environment requiring an on-premises and cloud-based storage solution. The solution should take into consideration the following:

1. The company has sensitive data.
2. The company has proprietary data.
3. The company has its headquarters in Iceland, and the data must always reside in that country.

Which cloud deployment model should be used?

Answer options

• A. Hybrid cloud
• B. Community cloud
• C. Public cloud
• D. Private cloud

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Hybrid cloud, as it allows for a combination of on-premises and cloud storage, meeting the need for both sensitive and proprietary data to remain in Iceland. Options B, C, and D do not offer the required balance between local and cloud storage, making them unsuitable for the company's needs.
