CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 696

A root cause analysis reveals that a web application outage was caused by one of the company's developers uploading a newer version of the third-party libraries that were shared among several applications. Which of the following implementations would be BEST to prevent this issue from reoccurring?

Answer options

• A. CASB
• B. SWG
• C. Containerization
• D. Automated failover

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Containerization is the best solution here because it allows applications to run in isolated environments with their specific dependencies, preventing conflicts from shared libraries. Other options like CASB, SWG, and automated failover do not specifically address the issue of dependency management in shared libraries among applications.
