Cisco CCNP Security Core (SCOR) 350-701Cloud SecurityEasy
A security architect is evaluating different cloud deployment models for a new application that will process highly sensitive intellectual property. The primary concern is maintaining maximum control over the underlying infrastructure and ensuring complete data isolation, while still benefiting from some aspects of cloud elasticity. Which cloud deployment model would best meet these requirements?
- APublic Cloud
- BCommunity Cloud
- CHybrid Cloud
- DPrivate Cloud
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: D. Private Cloud
A private cloud provides a dedicated environment for a single organization, offering maximum control over infrastructure, enhanced security, and complete data isolation, while still allowing for internal elasticity.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Public clouds offer less control and shared infrastructure, which is not ideal for maximum control and data isolation.
- B. Community clouds are shared among specific organizations with common concerns, still involving shared resources.
- C. Hybrid clouds combine public and private, introducing shared aspects that compromise full control and isolation.
Private Cloud
A cloud computing environment dedicated exclusively to a single organization, providing maximum control and isolation.
- Exclusive use by one organization.
- High control over infrastructure and data.
- Can be on-premises or hosted by a third party.
Memory trick: Think of cloud models as types of housing: Public is an apartment, Private is a custom home.
