CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 720

A security analyst is evaluating the risks of authorizing multiple security solutions to collect data from the company's cloud environment. Which of the following is an immediate consequence of these integrations?

Answer options

• A. Non-compliance with data sovereignty rules
• B. Loss of the vendors interoperability support
• C. Mandatory deployment of a SIEM solution
• D. Increase in the attack surface

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because integrating multiple security solutions can create additional points of entry for attackers, thereby increasing the attack surface. The other options do not directly relate to the immediate impact of such integrations. Non-compliance, loss of support, and mandatory deployments may arise but are not direct consequences of the integration itself.
