Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) — Question 64

Which cloud-based service model enables companies to provide client-based access for partners to databases or applications?

Answer options

• A. Platform-as-a-service (PaaS)
• B. Desktop-as-a-service (DaaS)
• C. Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS)
• D. Identity-as-a-service (IDaaS)
• E. Software-as-a-service (SaaS)

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Platform-as-a-service (PaaS), as it provides a platform that allows developers to build and manage applications with database access for clients. The other options, such as DaaS, IaaS, IDaaS, and SaaS, do not specifically focus on enabling partners to access databases or applications, making them less suitable for this scenario.
