CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 36

Which of the following is the BEST way to ensure accounts in a cloud environment are disabled as soon as they no longer need to be active?

Answer options

• A. Have the user contact the cloud systems administrator to disable the account when it is no longer needed.
• B. When users leave the company, ensure an account disablement request is initiated and will be fulfilled in less than four hours.
• C. Have accounts checked by the cloud systems administrator once per day to ensure active accounts are still valid.
• D. Reboot directory services servers once a day to ensure all account disablement requests are committed.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct because it establishes a timely process for disabling accounts as soon as users leave, minimizing security risks. Option A relies on user action, which may not happen promptly. Option C may not be effective enough since it only checks accounts once per day. Option D is irrelevant as rebooting servers does not directly ensure account disablement requests are executed.
