Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 408

What type of solution is at the core of virtually all directory services?

Answer options

• A. WS
• B. LDAP
• C. ADFS
• D. PKI

Correct answer: B

Explanation

LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is the primary protocol used for accessing and maintaining directory information services over an Internet Protocol (IP) network, making it central to most directory services. The other options, while relevant in their contexts, do not serve as the core protocol for directory services like LDAP does.
