CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 587

A company wants to move one of its environments to the cloud. The biggest requirement is to have as much control as possible regarding the environment. Which of the following would most likely satisfy this requirement?

Answer options

• A. SaaS
• B. IaaS
• C. PaaS
• D. MaaS

Correct answer: B

Explanation

IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) provides the greatest level of control over the cloud environment, allowing users to manage the infrastructure and resources directly. In contrast, SaaS (Software as a Service) and PaaS (Platform as a Service) limit user control by providing ready-to-use software and platforms, while MaaS (Monitoring as a Service) does not pertain to infrastructure control.
