Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) — Question 169

What are the encryption options available for SaaS consumers?

Answer options

• A. Provider-managed and (sometimes) proxy encryption
• B. Any encryption option that is available for volume storage, object storage, or PaaS
• C. Volume storage encryption
• D. Client/application and file/folder encryption
• E. Object encryption

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because provider-managed encryption is specifically designed for SaaS environments, where the service provider handles encryption processes. The other options describe encryption methods that are more suitable for different storage types or deployment models, rather than the specific needs of SaaS consumers.
