CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 1038
An organization recently moved its custom web applications to the cloud, and it is obtaining managed services of the back-end environment as part of its subscription. Which of the following types of services is this company now using?
Answer options
- A. SaaS
- B. CASB
- C. IaaS
- D. PaaS
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is B, CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker), which provides managed services for security and control in cloud environments. The other options are incorrect because SaaS refers to software delivery, IaaS pertains to infrastructure as a service, and PaaS is focused on platform services for application development, none of which specifically represent the managed service aspect described in the question.
