Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 257

Which type of cloud model typically presents the most challenges to a cloud customer during the "destroy" phase of the cloud data lifecycle?

Answer options

• A. IaaS
• B. DaaS
• C. SaaS
• D. PaaS

Correct answer: C

Explanation

SaaS typically involves data that is managed by the service provider, making it harder for customers to completely erase their data during the destroy phase. In contrast, IaaS, DaaS, and PaaS offer more control over data management and destruction processes, which can mitigate these challenges.
