CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 1010

Which of the following would enhance the security of accessing data stored in the cloud? (Select
TWO)

Answer options

• A. Block level encryption
• B. SAML authentication
• C. Transport encryption
• D. Multifactor authentication
• E. Predefined challenge questions
• F. Hashing

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

SAML authentication (B) provides a secure way to handle user identity and permissions, while multifactor authentication (D) adds an extra layer of security by requiring multiple forms of verification. Other options like block level encryption (A) and hashing (F) provide data security, but do not directly enhance the security of the access process itself.
