Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 186

Which cloud service category most commonly uses client-side key management systems?

Answer options

• A. Software as a Service
• B. Infrastructure as a Service
• C. Platform as a Service
• D. Desktop as a Service

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) typically provides users with full control over the infrastructure, including security measures like key management. In contrast, Software as a Service (SaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) often handle security and key management on behalf of the user, while Desktop as a Service (DaaS) focuses on delivering virtual desktops rather than managing infrastructure security.
