CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-002) — Question 15

An executive assistant wants to onboard a new cloud-based product to help with business analytics and dashboarding. Which of the following would be the BEST integration option for this service?

Answer options

• A. Manually log in to the service and upload data files on a regular basis.
• B. Have the internal development team script connectivity and file transfers to the new service.
• C. Create a dedicated SFTP site and schedule transfers to ensure file transport security.
• D. Utilize the cloud product's API for supported and ongoing integrations.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because utilizing the cloud product's API allows for seamless and automated integration, ensuring real-time data updates and minimizing manual intervention. Options A and C are less efficient as they involve manual processes or scheduled transfers, while option B, although better than A and C, requires additional development resources and may not guarantee ongoing integration.
