CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 123

An organization is using multiple SaaS-based business applications, and the systems administrator is unable to monitor and control the use of these subscriptions.
The administrator needs to implement a solution that will help the organization apply security policies and monitor each individual SaaS subscription. Which of the following should be deployed to achieve these requirements?

Answer options

• A. DLP
• B. CASB
• C. IPS
• D. HIDS

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct choice is B, CASB, as it is specifically designed to provide visibility and control over SaaS applications, allowing for the enforcement of security policies. Options A (DLP) focuses on data loss prevention, which does not directly address subscription monitoring, while C (IPS) and D (HIDS) are related to network and host intrusion prevention and detection, respectively, which do not pertain to managing SaaS applications.
