Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 248

Which protocol allows a system to use block-level storage as if it was a SAN, but over TCP network traffic instead?

Answer options

• A. SATA
• B. iSCSI
• C. TLS
• D. SCSI

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, iSCSI, which is specifically designed to transport SCSI commands over TCP/IP networks, allowing block-level storage access over a network. Options A (SATA) and D (SCSI) refer to local storage protocols and do not operate over a TCP network. Option C (TLS) is a security protocol and does not relate to storage access.
