CompTIA SecurityX (CAS-005) — Question 179

A cloud engineer needs to identify appropriate solutions to:

• Provide secure access to internal and external cloud resources.
• Eliminate split-tunnel traffic flows.
• Enable identity and access management capabilities.

Which of the following solutions is the most appropriate?

Answer options

• A. Microsegmentation
• B. PAM
• C. SD-WAN
• D. SASE

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, SASE, as it integrates networking and security services to provide secure access and identity management while addressing split-tunnel traffic. Microsegmentation (A) focuses more on internal segmentation of networks, PAM (B) deals specifically with managing privileged access, and SD-WAN (C) primarily improves network performance but does not fully address the security and identity management needs outlined.
