CompTIA SecurityX (CAS-005) — Question 166

After a company discovered a zero-day vulnerability in its VPN solution, the company plans to deploy cloud-hosted resources to replace its current on-premises systems. An engineer must find an appropriate solution to facilitate trusted connectivity. Which of the following capabilities is the most relevant?

Answer options

• A. Container orchestration
• B. Microsegmentation
• C. Conditional access
• D. Secure access service edge

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Secure access service edge, as it provides secure and reliable connectivity for cloud-hosted resources. Options A, B, and C, while important in their own right, do not specifically address the need for trusted connectivity in a cloud environment following a vulnerability discovery.
