CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-004) — Question 603

A software developer has been tasked with creating a unique threat detection mechanism that is based on machine learning. The information system for which the tool is being developed is on a rapid CI/CD pipeline, and the tool developer is considered a supplier to the process. Which of the following presents the most risk to the development life cycle and to the ability to deliver the security tool on time?

Answer options

• A. Deep learning language barriers
• B. Big Data processing required for maturity
• C. Secure, multiparty computation requirements
• D. Computing capabilities available to the developer

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is the correct answer because handling Big Data is essential for the maturity of a machine learning model, and delays in processing can significantly impact the development timeline. The other options, while they may present challenges, do not directly affect the pace of delivering the security tool as critically as the need for robust Big Data processing does.
