CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-004) — Question 317

A security engineer needs to select the architecture for a cloud database that will protect an organization’s sensitive data. The engineer has a choice between a single-tenant or a multitenant database architecture offered by a cloud vendor. Which of the following best describes the security benefits of the single-tenant option? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Most cost-effective
• B. Ease of backup and restoration
• C. High degree of privacy
• D. Low resilience to side-channel attacks
• E. Full control and ability to customize
• F. Increased geographic diversity

Correct answer: C, E

Explanation

The single-tenant architecture provides a higher degree of privacy as it isolates the data from other tenants, reducing the risk of unauthorized access. Additionally, it allows for full control and customization of security measures, which enhances the protection of sensitive data compared to a multitenant setup. The other options either do not pertain to security benefits or indicate vulnerabilities.
