Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) — Question 55

What is the most significant security difference between traditional infrastructure and cloud computing?

Answer options

• A. Management plane
• B. Intrusion detection options
• C. Secondary authentication factors
• D. Network access points
• E. Mobile security configuration options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The management plane in cloud computing is more significant because it involves centralized control and access management, which differs from traditional infrastructure where management can be more decentralized. The other options, while relevant to security, do not represent the fundamental shift in how security is managed in cloud environments compared to traditional setups.
