CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 804

A root cause analysis reveals that a web application outage was caused by one of the company's developers uploading a newer version of the third-party libraries that were shared among several applications.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 allows applications to run in isolated environments, ensuring that dependencies, such as third-party libraries, do not conflict with one another. This approach prevents any unintended updates from affecting multiple applications simultaneously. The other options, such as CASB, SWG, and Automated failover, do not directly address the issue of dependency management and application isolation.
