Palo Alto Networks Cybersecurity Entry-Level Technician (PCCET) — Question 22

What is a key advantage and key risk in using a public cloud environment?

Answer options

• A. Multi-tenancy
• B. Dedicated Networks
• C. Dedicated Hosts
• D. Multiplexing

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as multi-tenancy allows multiple customers to share the same infrastructure, leading to cost efficiency and scalability. However, this also introduces risks related to data security and privacy, as resources are shared among different tenants. The other options, such as Dedicated Networks, Dedicated Hosts, and Multiplexing, do not capture the dual nature of benefits and risks associated with public cloud usage.
