CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-004) — Question 549

After the latest risk assessment, the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) decides to meet with the development and security teams to find a way to reduce the security task workload. The CISO would like to:

• Have a solution that uses API to communicate with other security tools.
• Use the latest technology possible.
• Have the highest controls possible on the solution.

Which of following is the BEST option to meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. EDR
• B. CSP
• C. SOAR
• D. CASB

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The best option to fulfill the CISO's requirements is SOAR, as it integrates with various security tools via APIs, employs advanced technology, and provides robust controls. EDR focuses on endpoint protection, CSP deals with cloud security, and CASB is aimed at securing cloud services, but none of these options meet all the specified criteria as effectively as SOAR.
