CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-004) — Question 520

A company with multiple locations has taken a cloud-only approach to its infrastructure. The company does not have standard vendors or systems, resulting in a mix of various solutions put in place by each location. The Chief Information Security Officer wants to ensure that the internal security team has visibility into all platforms. Which of the following best meets this objective?

Answer options

• A. Security information and event management
• B. Cloud security posture management
• C. SNMPv2 monitoring and log aggregation
• D. Managed detection and response services from a third party

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Security information and event management (SIEM), as it aggregates security data from multiple sources, providing visibility across diverse platforms. Options B and C focus on specific aspects of cloud security and network monitoring, respectively, but do not provide the comprehensive visibility required. Option D offers managed services but may not directly provide the internal team with the visibility they need across all platforms.
