CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-003) — Question 179

A security analyst would like to integrate two different SaaS-based security toots so that one tool can notify the other in the event a threat is detected. Which of the following should the analyst utilize to best accomplish this goal?

Answer options

• A. SMB share
• B. API endpoint
• C. SMTP notification
• D. SNMP trap

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, API endpoint, because APIs allow different software applications to communicate and share data seamlessly. Options A (SMB share) and C (SMTP notification) do not provide the necessary integration capabilities between SaaS tools, while D (SNMP trap) is typically used for network management rather than inter-tool communication in a SaaS context.
