CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 182

A security team is setting up a new environment for hosting the organization's on-premises software application as a cloud-based service. Which of the following should the team ensure is in place in order for the organization to follow security best practices?

Answer options

• A. Virtualization and isolation of resources
• B. Network segmentation
• C. Data encryption
• D. Strong authentication policies

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because virtualization and isolation of resources help in securely managing the application environment by separating different workloads and reducing the risk of data breaches. Options B, C, and D, while important for security, do not specifically address the virtualization and resource isolation needed for a cloud-based service setup.
