CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-003) — Question 383

When undertaking a cloud migration of multiple SaaS applications, an organization's systems administrators struggled with the complexity of extending identity and access management to cloud-based assets. Which of the following service models would have reduced the complexity of this project?

Answer options

• A. RADIUS
• B. SDN
• C. ZTNA
• D. SWG

Correct answer: C

Explanation

ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access) is designed to provide secure access to applications while minimizing the complexity of identity management, making it the best choice for this scenario. RADIUS is primarily for authentication and does not directly address identity management complexity in cloud environments. SDN (Software-Defined Networking) focuses on network management rather than identity, and SWG (Secure Web Gateway) is more about web security than access management.
