CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 830

A company acquired several other small companies. The company that acquired the others is transitioning network services to the cloud. The company wants to make sure that performance and security remain intact. Which of the following BEST meets both requirements?

Answer options

• A. High availability
• B. Application security
• C. Segmentation
• D. Integration and auditing

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as integration and auditing ensure that all components of the network work together seamlessly while allowing for monitoring and compliance, which are crucial for maintaining security. High availability (A) focuses on uptime rather than security, application security (B) protects individual applications but doesn't address overall network performance, and segmentation (C) helps isolate parts of a network but does not guarantee the integration necessary for optimal performance.
