Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) — Question 435

A company is attempting to enhance the security of its user authentication processes. After evaluating several options, the company has decided to utilize Identity as a Service (IDaaS). Which of the following factors leads the company to choose an IDaaS as their solution?

Answer options

• A. In-house team lacks resources to support an on-premise solution.
• B. Third-party solutions are inherently more secure.
• C. Third-party solutions are known for transferring the risk to the vendor.
• D. In-house development provides more control.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the company has determined that their in-house team does not have the necessary resources to manage an on-premise solution effectively. Options B and C suggest advantages of third-party solutions but do not directly address the company's resource limitations. Option D contradicts the need for IDaaS, as it implies that in-house development would be more beneficial, which is not the case for this company.
