CompTIA SecurityX (CAS-005) — Question 34

An organization has deployed a cloud-based application that provides virtual event services globally to clients. During a typical event, thousands of users access various entry pages within a short period of time. The entry pages include sponsor-related content that is relatively static and is pulled from a database. When the first major event occurs, users report poor response time on the entry pages. Which of the following features is the most appropriate for the company to implement?

Answer options

• A. Horizontal scalability
• B. Vertical scalability
• C. Containerization
• D. Static code analysis
• E. Caching

Correct answer: E

Explanation

Implementing caching is the best solution because it allows frequently accessed data, like static sponsor content, to be stored temporarily for faster retrieval, improving response times. Horizontal and vertical scalability could help with overall performance but would not specifically address the issue of slow loading times for static content. Containerization and static code analysis do not directly relate to improving the speed of content delivery for users.
