CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-002) — Question 192

A security analyst needs to recommend a solution that will allow users at a company to access cloud-based SaaS services but also prevent them from uploading and exfiltrating data. Which of the following solutions should the security analyst recommend?

Answer options

• A. CASB
• B. MFA
• C. VPN
• D. VPS
• E. DLP

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker), which provides visibility and control over cloud applications, effectively preventing data exfiltration. Options B (MFA) and C (VPN) enhance security but do not specifically address data uploading concerns. D (VPS) is a virtual private server solution and E (DLP) focuses on data loss prevention but does not provide the same level of control over cloud applications as CASB.
