CAS-005 Exam Dumps : CompTIA SecurityX Certification Exam

The most effective solution is Terraform (C), an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool that allows organizations to define and provision infrastructure resources across multiple cloud providers using a consistent configuration language. For a multicloud strategy, Terraform provides cloud-agnostic templates, ensuring that server creation, networking, and storage provisioning are automated and standardized across AWS, Azure, GCP, or other providers. This aligns with CAS-005 best practices for cloud automation and consistency.

PowerShell (A) and Bash (B) are scripting tools that can automate tasks but are typically tied to specific operating systems and lack multicloud orchestration capabilities. Ansible (D) is a strong automation tool for configuration management and application deployment, but Terraform is specifically designed to provision and manage infrastructure at scale across multicloud environments.

By using Terraform, the company can enforce consistent images, reduce human error, ensure compliance through reusable templates, and improve operational efficiency while maintaining flexibility across multiple providers.

Homomorphic encryption allows computations to be performed on encrypted data without decrypting it, providing strong privacy guarantees. However, the adoption of homomorphic encryption is challenging due to several factors:

A. Incomplete mathematical primitives: This is not the primary barrier as the theoretical foundations of homomorphic encryption are well-developed.

B. No use cases to drive adoption: There are several compelling use cases for homomorphic encryption, especially in privacy-sensitive fields like healthcare and finance.

C. Quantum computers not yet capable: Quantum computing is not directly related to the challenges of adopting homomorphic encryption.

D. Insufficient coprocessor support: The computational overhead of homomorphic encryption is significant, requiring substantial processing power. Current general-purpose processors are not optimized for the intensive computations required by homomorphic encryption, limiting its practical deployment. Specialized hardware or coprocessors designed to handle these computations more efficiently are not yet widely available.

The SIEM already contains multiple events that, if correlated, would have indicated an active attack sequence on VM001—such as denied connections, IPS alerts, malware detection, and then an allowed connection. CAS-005 Security Operations objectives emphasize log correlation as a way to enhance detection by linking related events across different time stamps and data sources into a single, higher-confidence alert.

Option A (adding EDR logs) could add visibility but does not address the need to connect existing events for earlier detection.

Option C (improving parsing) ensures readability but does not create actionable alerts.

Option D (creating a new malware detection rule) is redundant since malware detection already appeared in logs; the issue was the lack of correlation to act on it in time.

By correlating IDS, IPS, firewall, and malware detection logs, the SIEM can raise a higher-priority alert before the attack is completed.
