Palo Alto Networks Cybersecurity Entry-Level Technician (PCCET) — Question 91

A user is given access to a service that gives them access to cloud-hosted physical and virtual servers, storage, and networking.

Which NIST cloud service model is this?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), as it allows users to manage and access physical and virtual servers along with storage and networking. The other options are incorrect because SaaS (Software as a Service) pertains to software applications, PaaS (Platform as a Service) provides a platform for developers to build applications, and CaaS (Containers as a Service) is focused on container management.
