CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 359

A company wishes to move all of its services and applications to a cloud provider but wants to maintain full control of the deployment, access, and provisions of its services to its users.
Which of the following BEST represents the required cloud deployment model?

Answer options

• A. SaaS
• B. IaaS
• C. MaaS
• D. Hybrid
• E. Private

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct choice is A, SaaS, which allows users to access software applications hosted in the cloud without managing the underlying infrastructure. The other options do not provide the level of control over deployment and access required; IaaS offers infrastructure but not a complete service model, while MaaS and Hybrid do not specifically address the need for application control.
