CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-003) — Question 72

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. CASB
• B. SASE
• C. ZTNA
• D. SWG

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker), as it provides a layer that manages and secures access to cloud applications, simplifying identity management for SaaS. The other options, while relevant to cloud security, do not specifically address the complexities of identity and access management in the same way that CASB does.
